Ray,

Are you unchecking the option to "Move object with text"? It's on the
Picture Position tab of the Advanced Layout window. If the option is
grayed out, then you've chosen In Line With Text on the Text Wrapping tab
of the Advanced Layout window; I believe the option is available for all
other choices.

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for the reply.

As noted in my previous email, I have no problems getting to the
(advanced)
Layout tab for formatting the graphic nor do I have problem getting to the

Layout tab for the drawing canvas. The problem is that when I try to drag
the
border of the drawing canvas, the canvas placeholder (dotted line
rectangle)
moves as appropriate, but the whole thing snaps back to the upper left
corner
of the page as soon as I release the left mouse button. IOW, the dragging
doesn't "stick". Until recently, I was able to move individual graphics or

grouped objects (such as graphic and caption), as well as entire drawing
canvases to any arbitrary place on a page. I think I may have recently
mis-set
some option which now prevents arbitrary placements.

My question, then, is: What option must I restore to regain my former
functionality? If it's not an option that needs re-setting, then please
suggest something to troubleshoot.

Thank you,

Ray Shapp
