Wordart not inserting correctly

[laura]

I have recently started using Word 2002 on my new computer which runs on
Windows XP. I am trying to use Wordart which seems to work fine until it's
on the screen. It appears only as an image, and not as a graphic which I can
reshape, turn, spin etc. What am I doing wrong or are my settings wrong
somehow?

Unless you have changed the default setting on the Edit tab of Tools |
Options, WordArt, like other graphics is inserted In Line with Text. You
have to change the wrapping to some other style before you can rotate it or
move it freely, but you should be able to shape and size it even when it is
inline.
