I've inserted some shapes and text boxes in the middle of a Word document. I'd like to go back and continue typing in the regular format, but I can't move my cursor beyond the shapes and text boxes I've added.

After your last paragraph before the shapes, create a space big enough for the shapes to go into and then start typing a new paragraph. You should then be able to move the drawing shape by shape into the gap. Not perfect but it works.

Did you place the shapes into a "drawing canvas"? (e.g: InsertShapesNew Drawing Canvas)

If not, then you should be able to double click on any empty portion of the page to continue typing there.

If you did (this is a better solution), then the canvas or image as a whole can be positioned relative to the text. First select the canvas, and then go to Page LayoutWrap Text and select an option.

Page Layout, Wrap Text

Depending on what you're trying to do, you can pick various options. In your case, you probaly want one of the following:

  • In Line with Text
  • Square

This will put the canvas or image in-line with the text rather than floating wherever you drop it.
