Hello all,
My question is: Why is the text box drawing tool not available when my
cursor is positioned to right of a table in a Word 2000 document? Anywhere
else on my page is OK for text boxes, but not here. Does anyboby have any
clues or is it just the way it is?

What do you mean be "to the right of a table"? Is the table formatted with
text wrap (text flows around the table, to the right)? Or do you have the
cursor in the end-of-row area of the table?

I'm guessing you mean the latter. When you draw anything from the Drawing
toolbar, it needs to anchor itself to a paragraph in the text. The end-of-row
marker is not a valid anchor range, which is probably why the tool isn't
available when the focus is there. Just press Left-arrow and you shold be
alright.
