Default text boxes not pasting correctly

When you paste a text box it does not paste right where you put the cursor
but pastes somewhere else on the page and you have to drag it down in place.
Then sometimes when you are dragging it down across a table it disappears.
Do anyone know a cure for pasting exactly where you want it?

Default text boxes not pasting correctly

There are a couple of ways to do it.

1. You could fill in the page with text and then put your text box where you
want it and align it on the page and set the text wrap accordingly to how you
want it to look.

2. You could make a new section for the text box, and set the margins where
you want them to put the box. Then insert another section to go back to the
original set-up for the document.

3. You can try turning your page into a big table with some number of cells.
For example, if you wanted it in the upper right-hand corner, you might
create a 2 x 2 table, then expand that table into the size of the page, then
put your text box in the upper right-hand cell.

Then adjust the table so the cell is just the right size for the text box
and then go to the bottom two cells and merge them. Then turn-off the table
borders and put your text or other elements in the other parts of the table.
