Default Unwanted Text Box

Dave wrote:
When I want to draw a simple line in a Word doc, all of a sudden a
large box (text?) appears which contains the phrase "Create your
drawing here."
Where did this box come from and how do I get rid of it? All I want
is a simple line.

Thx

Go to Tools Options General and uncheck the box for "Automatically
create drawing canvas when inserting AutoShapes".
