I am having trouble drawing a table around some pre existing text in a
document i created in Word. Every time i try, the text gets moved down
underneath the table. I actually want to incorporate the text into the table.

Mellisa,

Select the text. Using menu TableConver. Select text to table.

Melissa,
Do not try to draw a table around text using the drawing pencil, select your
text, choose Table - convert - text to table - choose an appropriate
separator - click OK.
