Need to select object on background layer in Word 2003.
I have added a graphic in a cell, positioned it then sent it behind text.
After doing this I can never select the object (several verions of word). I need to select the object to size/move it now. Have removed all text from cell still cannot select the object. I can delete it and when I copy the cell, it comes along so I cannot create a new cell with a new copy of the graphic because I would then have 2, one right, one wrong. How do I get the graphic live again so I can manipulate it? Not a newby to word! This has been a problem for a long time. MIke Morrow |

Hi Mike
On the Drawing toolbar, click the solid white arrow next to the Draw command. You should now be able to select the graphic. You can press Esc to get out of that mode if you need to. And if you can't see the Drawing toolbar, do View Toolbars and click Drawing. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "Mike Morrow" Mike wrote in message ...

Thank you. THANK you. THANK YOU!!!
I don't do a lot of drawing in Word itself, I normally do the artsy stuff in Photoshop and import it. This worked. THANKS!! Now, how to get the thumbnails to show once again when I import pictures. (I know that's an Explorer problem) Something I did caused them to just be boxes instead of filling in like they used to. So many problems, so little time...
