    I created some shapes, textbox, WordArt and insert a picture. I saved this document as A.docx (Word 2007) and B.doc (Word 97-2003). When I open A.docx, I cant' groups these objects together. But with B.doc, I can do it easily. How can solve this problem

    I had the same problem.
    The image must be in a text box to be able to group.
    you can group text boxes but not images.
    the image had a box around it to resize it but it cannot be grouped that way. --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05

    Thanks to Bob Buckland for the thorough answer. It is crazy that the useful feature of grouping has been discontinued.

    Another way is to use a one cell table with transparent borders. I am using this method.

    Some say one can group in PowerPoint and paste.
    Another way may be to use a caption (but I am not sure about two captions?)
