Grey object handles

[handydancer]

Hello, I am trying to edit a document passed on to me that has lots of graphic objects locked in place on the page with grey handles with X's in them. How do I unlock them so I can move them around where I want them to be? When I right click on Format Picture the Layout tab shows In front of text and Other for Horizontal alignment. The Advanced button brings up the Picture Position tab as Absolute position both ways and all the Options below checked. If I uncheck Move object with text and Lock anchor both it's still stuck. Thanks for the help!!
