Word XP, text wrapping and text boxes...

[KieranMurphy]

Does anyone know how to make text boxes in Word XP automatically have text warp around them when they're added to a document?

I found a setting in the Tools>Option that makes pictures to automatically have text wrap around them, but I can't find anything that does something similar for text boxes. Text boxes automatically sit on top of the text, hiding whatever's below it, and you have to format text boxes each time you create them to have the main body text wrap around them.

It all seems odd to me, because I'd imagine that 99% of the time, people want their text boxes to sit neatly alongside their main text, not to have it sitting on top of it and obscuring it.

I can't find anything in the settings or options to change it.

Illogical design is what adds uniqueness to Microsoft products, remember that you're dealing with a product which contains an "assistant" whose greatest attribute is the ability to identify what type of document you are producing (e.g. Paperclip:"It appears that you are writing a letter", User: "Well thanks for that, I really wouldn't have been able to work that out without your helpful input!")

Sorry about that, its been a long day.

I cant help you (but the paperclip might be able to).
