[mso] Unable to position Drawing Canvas in Word

Hello All,

In Word 2002, I must have changed an option because I can no longer move 
drawing canvases and their contents to any arbitrary place on a page;. 
Formerly, I was able to insert text box then paste a picture or graphic image 
into the text box then use advanced options on the Layout tab of the Format 
Drawing Canvas window. Typical choice was to select "Square" wrapping style 
and the "wrap both sides" radio button.  Now the text box and the contained 
picture insist on hugging the left edge and upper left corner of the page.

In this instance, my pages have two-column format. In the past, I often 
centered drawing canvas and contents to partially span both columns.

What must I do to regain the ability to move text boxes and any contained 
graphics and/or text to arbitrary locations?

Thanks for the help.

Ray Shapp
