I've reproduced Eize's error report on a RedHat Linux system using Firefox 3.6.13. Create a new document, insert some text, hit return, insert a page break, and two blank lines are seen before the page break. Position the cursor on the second of those lines, immediately above the page break, and start typing. A new line gets inserted and the cursor position is off by one line.

Hi Yolkerman If you can't open the Selection pane from the Format tab that means you're working in a the old binary file format '.doc' and not '.docx'. Is this problematic text box anchored to the firt paragraph mark in the document? I've read that tables set into the first paragraph can cause difficulties and perhaps text boxes can have a similar issue in binary files. Have you tried right clicking on the text box and choosing the Format option and from there converting the text box to an inline shape? Finally, you could try coverting the file to an xml format (docx) and/or try saving it first as an html, closing it completely (quiting Word) and then open the html version and save it as a docx under a new name.

Step 1 - place the shape where you want it in the page (it will now be overlaid on the text) step 2 - select the Drawing Tools tab which appears in the menus ribbon step 3 - in the Arrange group, click on the Position option and select More layout Options. Step 4 - in the Text Wrapping tab select Square step 5 - in the Position tab select the Absolute position and set the horizontal and vertical values respectively to the right of PAGE and below Top MARGINNow the shape will stay in exactly where you placed it.

• Click the alignment option that you want. Adjust the text box margins • Click the outer edge of the text box to select it.

I had to physcially drag the box to the bottom >>> right. >>> For Step 6: I lose the size and have to enter the dimensions again. >>> For step 8: I lose the size and the position and have to fix again. >>> This worked in Office 2007 so I am confused about why it is not working now.

Can someone please help me? I am very fluent in Word 2010 for Windows, and this was a simple process. I was attempting to create a document in Word 2011 for Mac, like I've done many times on my pc. I wanted a picture in the background, with text on top of that. In the windows version, I would simply go to headers & footers, insert my picture, and set the format to 'behind text.' When I closed the header/footer, I could put my text on top of the picture and by adjusting the text color and placement, I could create greeting cards, posters, flyers, whatever. Yesterday I tried to do the same with Word 2011 for Mac, and could not get rid of the white background behind my text.
