Frames

[bsha]

In my Word 2003, whenever I insert a text box or graphic, a frame
automatically appears. I can delete the frame and then I am allowed to
proceed with the insert of the graphic or text box. Is there a setting I can
change somewhere so that frames will not appear unless I specifically want
one - so that the frame will not automatically inserted?

Part of the problem is the terminology -- in Word, a "frame" is
something completely different. The thing you're seeing is called a
"drawing canvas".

Yes, there is an option in Tools > Options > General. Uncheck the box
for "Automatically create drawing canvas when inserting AutoShapes".
