Pictures and Text Boxes

In pre-2007 versions of Word, I was able to draw a text box on a picture,
format the text box to exclude fill and outline, and group them so that text
stayed with that photo. Contrary to most advice, my pictures were always
Square layout, and not inline with text, so I could freely move them around.
I seldom used text with photos.

In 2007, however, I'm having difficulties doing this - or should I say I
can't do it at all. And, the picture right beside it moves up whenever I try
to draw the text box on it so the picture is up, and the text box is down.

What am I missing here? Thanks.

This is a flaw (IMO) in Word 2007's new-style graphics. If you use the
drawing canvas, you can do what you want. You can also do it when working in
Compatibility Mode (Word 97-2003 .doc format).
