Default Objectsi n Frames Word 2007

Is it possible to have floating objects in frames? I have a user that is
having trouble doing that. Is there a trick to it?

Thank you.

Frames are no longer an option in Word. This functionality is in Publisher.

Frames are certainly still available in Word, just a little harder to
access. You can add the Insert Frame button to the QAT or access it in the
Legacy Forms tools on the Developer tab.

My observation (not an explanation) is that for an object anchored in a
frame, the text wrapping settings of Square, Tight, and Top & Bottom are
ignored, and the object behaves as if the setting is either Behind Text or
In Front of Text (whichever was most recently applied).

Also, if the floating object is anchored in regular text and the frame
overlaps it, the wrapping is ignored.

This behavior also occurs in Word 2003. I won't be able to check Word 2010
until later today, but that version may have fixed this.
