SYMPTOMS
When you click a picture that is in a text box in Microsoft Office Word 2007, the text box is not selected. Therefore, you may be unaware that the picture is in a text box.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Word 2007 changes a picture into a &quot;floating&quot; picture when you insert the picture into a text box. This floating picture has the same positioning properties as the text box.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, use one of the following methods as appropriate:
 * To select the picture, click the picture.
 * To select the text box, click the picture. Then, hold the SHIFT key and press one of the arrow keys until the text box is selected.
 * To select both the picture and the text box, click the text box. Then, hold the SHIFT key and press either the RIGHT ARROW key or the LEFT ARROW key until both items are selected.
