Default Moving Shapes

I'm seeing the same behavior in Word 2007/2010 vs. 2003. Creating the
callout in a drawing canvas (which is necessary for connectors to work, so I
thought it might be relevant) doesn't help. I guess this is just one of the
downsides of the new graphics engine. Even saving in Word 97-2003 format
doesn't help. Sorry!

In earlier versions of Word (2003 e.g.) One used to be able to drag a shape,
such as a callout, and the sharp end of the triangle would not move. Now,
when moving the shape, the whole thing moves.
As an example, when you drag one end of a line or arrow, one end stays put.

Does anyone know of a way to drag a callout and keep pointed end anchored?
Or is this just not possible anymore.

Thanks,

Gordo
