drawing canvas

[Harriet]

Hi,

I'm new to Word 2003. Can anyone explain this drawing
canvas? Everytime I try to do a text box, this drawing
canvas comes up? I just want to do a text box?

thank you so much for your help!

The drawing canvas makes multiple drawing objects behave like a single
object when you move or resize. Connector shapes only work as designed
when they're in the drawing canvas. Personally, I find the drawing
canvas annoying and have turned it off by clicking on Tools | Options |
General | uncheck the "Automatically create drawing canvas" box | OK.
