How do I combine shapes and text

[cklater]

I made a logo in Word that consist of "text" and "shapes". Is there a way to
group these so it becomes one entity? I would like to be able to grab the
completed logo and re-size it, or move it without it separating.

Insert a drawing canvas (in Word 2007, Insert > Shapes > New Drawing Canvas; in
earlier versions, Insert > Picture > New Drawing). Cut the shapes of the logo
and paste them onto the canvas. If the text is already in a text box, cut and
paste it too; otherwise, insert a text box on the canvas and paste the text into
it.

When everything is on the canvas, you'll be able to select it all, right click,
and choose Grouping > Group.

If you don't want the canvas to remain, you can drag the grouped logo off the
canvas and then delete the canvas.
