Ray, Angela and all.....
I believe frame is TEXT box in newer versions of Word so Angela's method
might be the right answer for you Ray. To check it out, do an Insert Text
Box and draw the shape, doesn't have to be perfect as you can change/move it
later. In the box, do a return (I like to work with the paragraph marks on
so you can see where things are) and type some text. Place your cursor above
the text you typed and do an Insert [picture/graphic]. Now if you highlight
all, you can align the elements you just created. The only thing I don't
like about this method is I haven't figured out a way to wrap text around
the picture. However, the whole TEXT box can be treated like a graphic.
Still, my original method below generally works best for me.
