autoshape layout

[jonnyd_963]

Does anyone out there know how to make a shape completely neutral in terms of
its 'layout' (or in word 97 - 'wrapping')? MS have changed the options in
word 2003, and 'none' / 'no wrapping'is no longer available.

I need to draw arrows on tables (in word '03); and no matter what options
are selected, the shapes are affecting the cell text alignment (i.e. 'behind
text' is a no-go apparrently...)

It would help if you clarified what effect you're looking for & what *is*
happening to the contrary, but my guess is that perhaps the Drawing Canvas
is causing your problem.

Go to Tools>Options>General & remove the check for Automatically create
Drawing Canvas... Then recreate your arrow. - I prefer to leave it off all
the time. (You can always insert a canvas by way of Insert>Picture>New
Drawing if you need one.) - You should be able to use Behind Text or Through
to get the result I _think_ you're looking for.
