No, there haven't been any changes in it. A shorter description of my problem is:
- I insert an image, then select it, then draw a circle or a line in the image.
- Next, I select the circle and handles appear around it.
- I hold Shift down and click somewhere in the image. That causes the image to be selected but the object to become no longer selected.
The last time I did this was around 3 years ago and I can open those old documents and add text boxes to their images, and regroup the text boxes with the image.
I've been using Windows 10 since 2017, and I'm thinking that sometime in the recent past something in the Win 10 updates has changed that affects Word 2000, but I'm not sure.
Maybe another person can chime in with suggestion???
