Default Word 2003 - Textbox - How to get cursor below box for other work

After inserting a text box, I cannot get the cursor below the textbox to
continue working in my document [outside of the textbox].

You will find it easier to do this if you display both nonprinting
characters and text boundaries (View tab of Tools | Options). Make sure that
the wrapping on your text box is set to Square and not In Front of Text. If
the paragraph mark indicating the paragraph to which the text box is
anchored is beside the text box and you want to start typing below the text
box, you have two options.

1. You can set the wrapping on the text box to In Line With Text (you'll
need to press Enter to get another paragraph below the text box).

2. You can insert a "text wrapping break" (Insert | Break | Text wrapping
break).

With an online clicker game I've been playing, I've been having a lot of fun. Online games are normally a terrific choice for me, and cookie clicker is a modest advice if you enjoy them as well.
