Wrap Text and Position Buttons Greyed Out

When I try to insert a picture from Clipart into Word 2010, I can't move it as I used to be able to do in Word 2003. The position and wrap text buttons are greyed out. I've gone into "Options/Advanced/Insert picture as" and tried all of the options, but I still can't move the inserted picture. What am I doing wrong?

Answer

Pictures in text boxes must be inline. They cannot be wrapped. This is because the text box is already in the drawing layer (wrapped); it is considered so even when its own wrapping style is set to In Line With Text.
