I assume you mean Word 2007? Draw a text box over the picture set the fill
to 'no color' and type in the box.
A drawing canvas is essentially a means of keeping graphical items together.
You can turn it off from Word Options Advanced Editing Options
Automatically create drawing canvas when inserting autoshapes.

In Win 97, I believer I could draw a line directory onto a picture in the
word document. In 2007, it wants to open a canvas to draw on. Is there a
way to draw on a picture?
