Pasting word drawings into another document

[Mick]

Hi all,

I am having a problem with cutting and pasting a drawing from one document
to another. I have created the drawing in a document and then try to copy it
and paste it into the new document. Initially the drawing doesn't show up
but if I click elsewhere in the document (where I have pasted the drawing)
and begin to type it pops up. I can then select the drawing and change the
layout etc.

I am using MS Word 2003 (both documents) on Windows XP.

TIA,
Mick.

This could be a problem with your graphics card driver. See if there's an
updated version on the manufacturer's website and intall it. If that doesn't
help, contact the manufacturer, describe the problem, and ask if they're
planning to fix it.
