How do I group graphics and text?

You cannot group graphics and text as such. You can multi-select graphics
and group them so that they are effectively a single graphic object - but
text cannot be part of a graphics group.

Perhaps if you tell us what you want to do, we can tell you how you can
achieve it.

Unless your text is in a text box... as opposed to just typed onto the page.
(In 2003 and prior anyways.)

I have created a business card using text boxes and one graphic. I'd like to
group it so I can copy and paste. Am new to Microsoft Word. In Publisher,
which I used before, it was easy,

See http://www.gmayor.com/graphics_on_labels.htm. There's a macro there to
copy the contents of one card to the rest. But I usually recommend Publisher
for business cards.
