I have followed exactly the steps given to group items in Word 2007, but after selecting the items I want to group and going to the Format tab, the Group icon is not clickable. I have done the steps in Text Wrapping correctly.

In Word 2007, you need to put the objects onto a Drawing Canvas.  You can insert a Drawing Canvas via the Insert>Shapes>New Drawing Canvas option.

Long ago the forum had an option to attach files. No more.

Now, we have to upload the to the cloud, like OneDrive. Then in OneDrive, right click on the file, select "share" and copy the generated link.  THen paste that link in a reply back here so we can get to the file.

    What text wrapping attribute is in effect for each item?  What type of items are they?

    If you send me a copy of the document, referencing this thread and providing sufficient information in the covering email message, I will investigate the issue.

    One object is a graphic and the other is a text box. The Text Wrapping on each object is set to Square. I'm working with Word 2007. I'm uncertain as to how to attach a copy of the document I'm having trouble with as I don't see that as an option with this message. 

    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
