Hiya,
I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced the same frustrating problem as I am in Word 2008. I usually like doing my diagrams for reports, presentations using the drawing tools for lines, boxes, text boxes etc and then grouping them all together to get a fixed "picture". After so many years of doing it, it seems very natural in Word 2003/2004.
However I seem to be experiencing a constant bug in 2008. The need for putting boxes/lines "in front of" or "behind" other things is essential and is usually controlled either in the palette or by the right click "arrange menu".
This appears to WORK when creating new objects and trying to put them behind one another etc.....however....
Having copy&pasted a box/line/text box it refuses to obey the arrange commands and ALWAYS sends its self to the very back behind everything else. This is clearly VERY annoying when trying to build up a multi layered diagram and frankly makes no sense!
EDIT: Solved. Upon closer inspection, realised "Always send to back" was checked in the preferences tab. Always the way....finding the solution the moment you post on a board! Apparently won't be using that option to stop Words highly annoying method for inserting pictures.......
Does anyone else have this same problem or am I just doing something very silly?
Cheers!
Chris
