    I've read a number of threads re the problems of grouping different objects
    in Word 2007 (e.g. pictures and shapes), and the general advice seems to be
    to insert them all into a drawing canvas. That is fine if you are using the
    Insert command for pictures, but it doesn't seem to work if you try to Paste
    a picture into Word 2007.
    Specifically, if I take a screen shot by pressing the Prt Scr button on my
    keyboard, and then try to Paste it into a Word 2007 document that has a drawing canvas, it places it in the document but not inside the drawing canvas. This means that I cannot effectively group it with other graphic objects in the drawing canvas.
    Does anyone know how to force Paste to put a clipboard object inside a Word
    2007 drawing canvas? By the way, I am using the default Word 2007 option to
    insert/paste pictures "in front of text" (i.e. not "in line with text", which
    I understand can cause a problem with grouping).
    I wonder if Microsoft appreciate what a huge step backwards from Word 2003
    to Word 2007 they have taken in grouping objects. After all, you can still
    group different types of objects in Powerpoint 2007 - why the difference for
    Word 2007?

    Hello,

    The way to work with canvas would be as follows;
    1. Insert a drawing canvas into a MSWord page.
    2. Drag or Copy/Paste a picture/screenshot into the same word document.
    3. Cut the picture, then right click inside the drawing canvas and paste it.
    This will add the picture into the canvas and will move around with canvas maintaining its position inside the canvas.

    Rak
    Actually this also doesn't work. I have to paste the image into a textbox that is already in the drawing canvas and then it works. Stupid bug...

    Helloo... I also facing the same problem when I try to edit shape from old Ms.Word file which I copy to my new file / another Ms.Word file. Instead of copy canvas area from old file to new one and then edit, I found the way to work with it:
    1. Insert new drawing canvas in the new file.
    2. Copy the selected or all shape from the old canvas area.
    3. Paste the shape to the new canvas area.

    hope it helps.
