Thanks,
I still can't insert any autoshapes or text boxes under any view especially
print layout. I have found normal.dot but changing/deleting it doesn't do
anything either.
I am really at a loss with this one.

You can only set AutoShape defaults based on an AutoShape that you have
selected. Make sure you're in Print Layout view (objects in the drawing
layer are not displayed in Normal view). Inline objects behave like text and
can't be freely dragged.
For help on finding Normal.dot, see

I have checked/unchecked 'drawings'. I can't set any Autoshape defaults as
the option is greyed out on my draw toolbar. I have tried the pictures in
any
format - in line, square, in front of, behind, etc.
I have tried to rename/ delete normal.dot by enabling system and hidden
files but can't find the file.

Do you have "Drawings" checked on the View tab of Tools | Options? Have
you
set the AutoShape defaults to No Fill and No Line? Are the inserted
pictures
wrapped or inline?

When I try to insert a text box or autoshape in Word 2003 (new doc or
existing) nothing appears. Also I can't resize or move any inserted
picture.
The documents aren't protected in any way. I have also tried to
rename/remove
normal.dot with no change.
