I have an image in a Word 2000 document. I selected the image and drew an oval around one of the words. I would like to group the oval with the image so the oval will always remain in position with the image. However, when I select the circle, it gets unselected when I hold the Shift key and then select the image.

I have done this successfully since 2000 but now I can no longer select more than one object at a time.

What am I doing wrong?
