I received some questions about grouping textboxes in Word 2007, so here is the answer:

Why it is important to group textboxes and pictures in Word and work within drawing canvas?
Because you can change the colours easily then (make the whole page BW) and the worksheet will never be messy! Drawing canvas is a frame and we should work within this frame when we move textboxes/pics.

1. Work within Drawing Canvas 
"Insert" tab  - click on "Shapes," drop-down menu - click "New Drawing Canvas" (drawing frame) 

2. Select the items you want to group by clicking and holding the "Ctrl" key. Right-click in the canvas and select "Grouping" and "Group." (in Word 2002 move mouse diagonally to select all items...) 
When the textboxes are grouped, they behave like a single picture...They can now be moved simultaneously anywhere on the document.Save your work.

Click "Tools" and "Options." Select the "General" tab and check "Automatically create drawing canvas - OK."  From now on, your canvas will appear every time you use autoshapes...
