I moved a figure but the caption (in a text box) didn't move along. Now I lost it. It's probably hidden behind some text.
When I search for text in the caption, search does find it and directs me to a page where the caption is not visible. So, it seems I know on what page it is.
This page addresses how to find a hidden text box.
I have enabled Show drawings and text boxes on screen as well as field codes, and I am in Print Layout. I have tried to go to the Home tab -> Select -> Select Objects.
Nothing helps.
How can I retrieve my lost caption?

When you do a find, and select it in the Navivation window, the box should be highlighted.
Right click on the box, select bring to front -> bring to front.
Or, after selecting the text in the Navigation window, click on the Format tab in the ribbon. You may be able to give very large Height or Width values to make it spill off the side of the page? You also have the option to align it, to ensure it is still on the page!
Or, within the Format tab, select the Selection pane, where you can turn change the order of the 'layers'
