Moving WordArt Text

[Guest]

I recently moved up to a new computer with XP and Word 2007. I have a lot of
previous experience in moving around WordArt text to label maps. With my new
system, I can get WordArt text to appear and the two headed arrows will
appear around the activated text box - but the four headed arrow, needed to
move the text to where I want it, does not appear. How do I get the four
headed arrow to appear at the text box?

Change your Text Wrapping to something other than In Line with Text.

Thanks. Different wrapping works, but only with "Behind Text" or "In Front
of Text". Others did allow the four arrow symbol to appear, but only allowed
the text to be moved up and down. Strange - yesterday I tried all wrapping
options, but never had the four head arrow appear. I have had some other
whacky things happen too - like not being able to activate the WordArt text
in the document - highlighting the text and cutting it also removed the
inserted street diagram I am using. Also, I have had wrapping default back
to "In Line With Text". No further questions at this time. I probably just
need to get used to this Word 2007 edition. Thanks again. And, thanks to
whoever invented the "UnDo" command.
