To be in it... yes. But I was allowing for yet another possibility--that the
picture isn't really IN the textbox. If "floating" were the response, then I
would assume that the picture had been grouped together with the text box
and only appeared to be inside it, and would've had a different
answer--i.e., ungroup, then try deleting the picture. :-)

The picture has to be inline; you can't put wrapped pictures in a text
box.

What version of Word? And is the picture "in line with text" or is it in
the
graphics layer?

I have a problem with disappearing text boxes in word.

1. Open a new document. 2. Place a text box somewhere on the page.
3. Insert an image into the text box.
4. Select the image you just inserted.
5. Delete the image.

The entire text box is deleted, instead of just the image, and this is
the
problem. I would like to keep the text box intact regardless of
anything
deleted within it. Is there a way to lock down text boxes so this
doesn't
happen?
