Drawing lines in Word 2003

H

Heather

When I go to draw a line in an existing document, a big
box fills the page with something like 'draw here' in the
centre. it covers any tables etc that are already on the
page.

is there a way to turn this off? I dont remember this
happening in previous versions of word.

Hi, Heather. You're seeing the "drawing canvas". If you don't want to use it, you can turn it off by clicking on Tools | Options | General | uncheck the "Automatically create drawing canvas when inserting autoshapes" box.
