Re: adding and removing anchors

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Objects in the drawing layer are always anchored to a text paragraph. The
only way to "remove" the anchor is to make a graphic inline. If you just
don't want to *see* the anchor, then clear the check box on the View tab of
Tools | Options.

The only kind of anchor in Word that I know of is that associated with
a textbox or floating graphic. To remove those anchors, you delete the
object.

If by "remove" you mean "make not visible", there's an option in the
Tools > Options > View dialog that you can uncheck.
