Could you provide some additional information?
What version of Word, which Flowchart method are you
using (Drawing Canvas or individual grouped elements, or???)
What are you trying to achieve when you're talking about
text tabs?
The 'anchoring' of a graphic/chart may be influenced by
the version of Word and from Format=>Autoshape/Picture/Drawing Canvas
from the Layout wrapping and Advanced option settings for example.
======
In copying I am having difficulties retaining the format of flowchart
particularly in relation to text tabs <<
