Opening your drawing I got a message saying it needed recovering due to 140+ errors? Once opened I also had a message saying there are xrefs missing. What was left in the drawing was 3 mlines? So either your mtext has errors or the text that you can see is within an xref.

Probably (it can in 2018/19/20) right click on an empty part of the bar across the top of the ribbon where all the tabs are (Home-Insert-Annotate-etc.) and click undock, now go to the ribbon (wherever it appears) and right click on it's title bar again in an empty spot (the bar that says 'ribbon' ) make sure there is a check mark/tick next to allow docking then choose anchor left or right.

Well everyone this is certainly a lot to take in, so I'm probably going to disappear for a bit while I read up more on the suggested content and watch the video series I found. Thank you all very, very much for all of your help; hopefully when you see me next I'll know what I'm doing and may be able to help the next time someone is having similar issues.
