Default text boxes behind tables

I have someone who created a table, then inserted a text box, which he
centered over a column in the table, inserted an image into the text box,
then set it behind the text, and now is unable to get to it so that he can
edit/change the image. Is there a way to do this, other than moving the
table out of the way of the image, somehow, since the table takes up 3 pages,
and the image is only behind the first page? The menu options for Text
Wrapping are all grayed out, so can't just tell it to bring the image to
front. Tried changing the positioning of the text in the table, but no
change, and still can't access the text box behind it. We are using
Office03, on WinXP. Help?

If the Drawing toolbar is not currently displayed, then display
it by clicking on View | Toolbars | Drawing. On the Drawing
toolbar, click on the Select Objects tool (it's the big white
arrow button at the left end of the Drawing toolbar), and then
click on the behind-text image or text box to select it. When
you've finished working with the image or text box, remember to
click on the Select Objects tool again to turn it off, or else
you won't be able to select text normally with the mouse.

I figured that out. Thank you.
