In order to put the text box or picture into a cell, you must set the
placement option (of the text box/picture) to "In line with text";
you'll find this setting for text boxes in Format | Text Box, Layout
tab (and similarly for pictures and other objects). Note that text
boxes cannot be placed in line in versions older than Word 2002.
