Text Box on top of Image

[Dorothy Hendrickson]

I do all of my documentation using Word. It used to be
that I could do an ALT Print Screen then paste this object
in word. Then I could click outside of this box and
select the text box and drag it on top of this image. Now
it jumps to another location and I have to format the text
box and select wrapping None. How can I save this as the
norm? Wrapping NONE?
Thanks for any help you can give.

It sounds like 'Allow Overlap' has been cleared as one of the AutoShape
defaults. Format one of your textboxes as you need it, with 'Allow Overlap'
checked. Then right click the shape and select Set AutoShape Defaults. Those
settings will be the default for new objects you add.

I believe that drawing object defaults only apply to the
open document (the one in which you set the defaults). I
wish it was possible to set the defaults for future
documents, but once Microsoft decides it knows what is
best you are pretty much stuck with that. If there is a
way of resetting graphics defaults globally, I would like
to know about it.

If you set the AutoShape defaults in Normal.dot (or any other template),
they will apply to all objects created in new documents based on that
template.
