Do you mean a text box? Word 2003 has those. You can cause any object to
'float' by setting its layout property to anything other than in-line with
text.

Hi Sandy,

It depends on which feature you were using.

MS Draw was replaced by its built in equivalent, the MS Office Drawing Canvas
Insert=>Picture=>New Drawing.

There is also the MS Word Picture Editor, which appears if you right click on a graphic and see 'Picture Object' as a choice.

A textbox, table cell or other Autoshape can also hold different types of content.

Actually that container could have textboxes and other autoshapes inside, so it was not a simple textbox. It was really useful for
annotating illustrations... >>
