In Win 97, I believer I could draw a line directory onto a picture in
the word document. In 2007, it wants to open a canvas to draw on. Is
there a way to draw on a picture?

I assume you mean Word 2007? Draw a text box over the picture set the fill
to 'no color' and type in the box.
A drawing canvas is essentially a means of keeping graphical items together.
You can turn it off from Word Options Advanced Editing Options
Automatically create drawing canvas when inserting autoshapes.

Yes, Word 2007. Good. I'll give it a try. The next time I bring up Word
97 on my old XP machine I'll give draw a try there.
