One of the MANY new annoyances I've noticed with Word 2013 (I really hate this version of Word!) is that when I have text boxes or pictures, moving them around is now often very difficult. When I select them, some of them will display an anchor icon to the top left of it. It's these (the ones with that anchor icon) that are a pain to move.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;What is that anchor icon called? What exactly is its purpose? When I paste a screenshot into Word why do they sometimes get that? Where can I go to find more info on it (so that I can better be able to combat such evil)?<br />

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.

A word processor is an electronic device or computer software application that performs the task of composition, editing, formatting, and sometimes printing of documents. Most modern word processors use a graphical user interface, and most are powerful systems consisting of one or more programs that can produce any arbitrary combination of images, graphics and text, the latter handled with type-setting capability. Typical features of a modern word processor include font application, spell checking, grammar checking, a built-in thesaurus, automatic text correction, Web integration, and HTML exporting, among others.
