Manipulating drawings

[Rob McKaughan]

This aught to be mind-bogglingly easy, but I can't figure it out at all. How
do you select or move drawings once they've been made? Or, how do you get
them to flow with the text?

I needed to make a sketch in the middle of my notes, so I used the add
writing space tool to make a gap in the text. I made my sketch. Now, I want
to add some text earlier in the document. When I do, the drawing doesn't
move with the text - it's fixed at a certain position and the text slides
under it.

1) How do I make it so that it's anchored to the text & moves accordingly
(like if I had a pic in Word)?

2) I can't find any way to select it. There's no drawing selection tool.
When I use the Type/Selection tool, it acts like the drawing isn't there - it
just selects blank lines under the drawing. I've read on this forum that one
should be able to hover the mouse and a little select box comes up - I see
nothing. (Note: if I hover to the side, I get the little cross-arrows box
that OneNote normally shows next to the paragraph under the mouse. Clicking
that only selects the blank line under the drawing).

Related: I'd also like to resize the drawing once I figure out how to select
it. Once, just after finishing the drawing, OneNote showed a marquee box
around the drawing that allowed me to resize. Now I want to again.

Thanks!

Try moving the note container off of the sketch, then select the entire
sketch, and drag it into the place on the note container where you want
to insert it.

Interesting idea... I moved the note container out from under the sketch.
The sketch does not have a container. Trying to click on it just creates new
note containers under it. I still can't find any way to select it.
