Moving a Microsoft Word Art Object

You can move your WordArt object to anywhere on your document, just choose your spot!

Word Office Helper Q: Why can't I drag my WordArt object to anywhere on the document page

At default, the WordArt object are treated as a character in Word.

You need to change the Text Wrapping of the Word Art object to have it as a separate object on your document page.

To change a Microsoft Word Art object's Text Wrapping, follow these steps:

1. Click on the Microsoft Word Art object once.

When you see the 8 selection-handles, you'll know it's selected.

The WordArt toolbar also appears on your document.
   
2. On the WordArt toolbar, click the Text Wrapping button (a black dog with lines through it). Choose any of the options given.

NOTE: The option "In line with Text" is the one that makes the WordArt object a character in the document.
   
A whole selection of Text Wrapping options available.

3. Once you've chosen another Text Wrapping option (I use "In Front of Text" most of the time), you'll see your resize-handles changes to white squares.

Also added is a green circle at the top-center for Rotation, and a yellow triangle at the right-center for Reshaping. You can click-and-drag these to see what they do!
   
Text Wrapping gives you better control over your Microsoft Word Art object.
