I had problem trying to label various parts of a picture with lines and
labels using the graphics tools. Thing would always stay still, so I decided
to stick the picture inside a text box and then use the graphics tools to do
the same. It seemed much more controllable. When I put something where I
intended it stayed there. However, when I decided to move the big text box,
I got some strange results. It appeared that some of the things I though
were in the box were outside it. To veryify this, I tried grouping items and
then cutting the group. It became apparent that all was not well. I tried
cutting the big box with the same results. That is some of the contents of
the box were cut but some lines, labels, circles were left behind. What's
going on? How do I get all of this stuff into one text box, so that I can
move it all around to other parts of the document?

If you use a drawing canvas, everything will stay together automatically.

Is there some tutorial or other reference on how to use the canvas?
