Default Sidebar text in a box

I want to do something simple. I've used Word Help and get no results when I
follow the instructions. I just want to position a box with text in it as a
sidebar and have the regular text of the main document wrap around the box.
I've tried doing this with a text box and utterly failed (although I'm sure I
did it once with an earlier version of Word). I have Office XP for Teachers
and Students. I tried doing it with a table, clicking on what seemed to be
the logical things in the Table Properties dialogue box. To no avail. I know
there is nothing advanced about what I am trying to do, but I can't do it.
I've read various postings here, hoping for help, but all I realized was that
everybody knows so much more than I do that I can't even follow their
messages back and forth. Many thanks to anyone who can give me step-by-step
instructions for the simple-minded technoditz.
