drawing lines, arrows, etc.

Our office recently switched to Word 2002. In previous
versions, when using the drawing toolbar to draw lines,
arrows, etc., clicking on the Line icon, for example,
would change the cursor to a "+", which could then be
dragged to create the desired line. Now when I click on
the Line icon a large box opens up with "Create your
drawing here." written in it. This box covers up
existing text and sometimes moves text around. How can I
prevent this box from appearing when all I want to do is
draw a line?
