I created a newsletter in a word document which consisted of tables, text,
and graphics. The problem is that all of these can be easily moved. I want
them all to be grouped so that they cannot accidently be moved. Any
suggestions?
 
Did you type in actual text or did you use Textboxes? If the latter, you
have a couple of choices, you can click one object (the graphic for
example), hold the SHIFT key and select another object, then repeat until
you have all the objects selected that you want, when done, click "Draw" on
the Drawing Toolbar and select "Group". You can also click the "Select
Objects" icon (arrow) on the Drawing Toolbar and draw a selection box around
everything that you want grouped.

Keep in mind that your objects have a couple of ways to be on a page
(floating objects, or in-line with text). You can change this feature by
right-clicking an object, selecting the "Format..." option at the bottom and
clicking the "Layout" TAB.

Hope this helps!
