How do I stop textbox from jumping to new page in word?

[KP]

Hi , Does anyone know how to stop text boxes and graphics jumping to the
bottom of the new page when a page break is automatically inserted by word it
driving me nuts!!!

I've got an image with in front of text wrapping style on , and under the
advanced setting; it is setup so that it doesn't move with text and with
anchor lock on.

I've then got a text box over the top of it with no fill etc and some text
inside it , this is setup in the sameway. I've tried it without anchor lock
and it still does the same thing.

Everything is positioned at the bottom of the page.

Many Thanks in advanced

A text box (or any other floating object) will always be on the same
page as its anchor. In other words, the text box will move to the
following page if editing pushes the paragraph containing the anchor
to that page. Try to anchor the text box to a paragraph in the middle
of the page (such a paragraph is less likely to move).

In order to more easily work with objects, you may want to display
anchors: On the Tools menu, click Options. Click the View tab. Check
the "Object anchors" option, and click OK.

Another point to add to Stephan's response is that the Lock Anchor option
pertains only to making the anchor 'un-dragable' - it will still move with
the para it is anchored to as he indicated. If the option is not selected
the anchor can be dragged to anchor the object to a different para. It
doesn't anchor the graphic to the "page" because Word doesn't recognize
pages in the way you think of them.
