Susan: What is generally done, and is much easier for you, is to just use a
table the entire width, and remove borders where you don't want the "table"
to appear. Otherwise, you're supposed to be able to set text wrapping on a
table (2000 and up), so try inserting the table, then going to its
properties and set text wrapping, and THEN move it where you want it.

How do I make a table and have text outside of the table? I am able to
type
my text but when I go to draw a table it will not go where I want it. I
do
not want any text inside my tables, only on the outside as labels for the
boxes.
