How to insert text box-not a frame in Word 2003?
Word 2003 - I click to add a text box from the drawing toolbar and instead a
huge frame is inserted. I don't want the frame, just a text box. This is a waste of time - any way to avoid it? This didn't happen in Word 2000. |

This didn't happen in Word 2000. In Tools Options General, uncheck "Automatically create drawing canvas". -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

This is not a frame; it's the drawing canvas. There's an option on the
General tab of Tools | Options to disable it. The advantages of the drawing canvas surface when you're trying to manipulate a lot of AutoShapes, add connectors, etc. When you need to use it, you can use Insert | Picture | New Drawing. -- Suzanne S.
