I've played around a bit with that feature, and can't seem to reproduce your problem. I changed the compatibility to see if that made any difference, which it did not.

Could your provide a few more details on this problem. Has it always been this way, or is the problem intermittent?

nancy I just got the upgrade a few days ago and when I bring up the drawing toolbar it I can see the draw, text box, shadow etc.. on the toolbar but you cant click on them. I can click on the insert pic and insert clip art but that is it.

I have to admit that this version is quite new to me also. I have been trying to research this problem, reading the help file etc. and trying different things with the drawing tool, and have not had a problem.

I am wondering if it may have to do with whether a person has Office installed elsewhere, as these may be some shared features. Do you have a version of Office installed? If so, then we are back to square one.

nancy I have an older version but I dont think that would be the cause of this. I cant believe that microsoft would not include a new user manual detailing improvements and modifications made to the software and included it with the package. This feature sounds like it would be good for things such as shadowing etc... but I cant get it to work. I have tired using it in current webs that I have already created and new pages as well.If you happen to come up with something let me know. Thanks for your help

In order for me to use these tools, I needed to turn on VML compatibility. See TOOLS--> PAGE OPTIONS--> COMPATIBILITY.
