Sorry. The concept of "wrapping" really came to the fore in Word 2000; Word
97 users are comfortable with "inline" and "floating," which in Word 2000
become In Line With Text and "wrapped" (with "text wrapping styles" of
Square, Tight, In Front of Text, Behind Text, etc.). This is another
illustration of why it's helpful to state the version of Word involved
(which you obviously did) AND for people asking questions to remain aware of
it. g It helps to repeat the Word version in the body of the thread, since
we often don't notice such details in subject lines.

Suzanne,
I have Word 97, and do have Front and Behind Text.
Eureka! I think I've got it! I thought I would try again, before
sending this reply, and I experimented with various choices of
'wrapping' in 'Format Autoshape' and it works if I select 'no
wrapping'.
Thankyou for your perserverence.
Regards, DavidF
