Default text box that automatically makes a graphic/design box

Hi,
I'm working in Word 2003 PC. Anyone know why when I draw
a text box a graphic/design box comes up then the text
box goes in it.

Appreciate if I knew how to stop that.

thank you!!! ahead of time for your help,

Harriet

That's the "drawing canvas." Disable it on the General tab of Tools |
Options.
