Ray,
The other thing to consider is whether you have "Picture placeholders" for
any graphic you create. I personally don't like it so I have turned it off
in the Tools/Options drop-down menu, where, on the View tab I have unticked
the "Picture placeholders" option.
Otherwise I am at a loss!

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
