Earlier versions of Word had ability to create floating containers to put text & pictures in (not sure about it's name in English). Was that feature dropped in Word 2003?
Do you mean a text box? Word 2003 has those. You can cause any object to
'float' by setting its layout property to anything other than in-line with
text.

Actually that container could have textboxes and other autoshapes inside, so it was not a simple textbox. It was really useful for annotating illustrations...
MS Draw was replaced by its built in equivalent, the MS Office Drawing Canvas
Insert=>Picture=>New Drawing.
There is also the MS Word Picture Editor, which appears if you right click on a graphic and see 'Picture Object' as a choice.
A textbox, table cell or other Autoshape can also hold different types of content.
