In the old Word I used to be able to click on Text Box, or an Auto Shape, and
then be able to size and place the box wherever I wanted. Now, it
autmatically inserts a presized shape where IT wants to in my document. It's
an extra step for me now, because then I have to either resize the box it
gives me, or delete the box and make my own. It is annoying.
