It took me a few hours to figure this out. Thanks MS Word! Then I had to register on this damn forum just to answer you and perhaps save other people a few hours. Thanks 2+2!

Tip #37 - Inserting Multiple Drawing Objects and AutoShapes (Versions 2002 and above)

Versions 2002 & 2003:

You can insert multiple drawing objects such as circles, squares, etc. into your Word document. Here's how:

Double click on the icon for the particular drawing tool from the Drawing toolbar. Then in your document, you can draw as many drawing objects as you want. When you are finished drawing the objects, click on the icon again (or press the ESC key on your keyboard) to deselect the drawing tool.

Version 2002:

To insert multiple AutoShapes, do the following:

From the Drawing toolbar, click on the AutoShapes tool and select the category and the particular AutoShape you want to insert. Drag the top, horizontal bar (of the AutoShapes toolbar) to some other area of your desktop. This will create a floating toolbar. Double click on the icon for the particular AutoShape you want to use and create as many AutoShapes as you want. When you are finished, click on the icon for the AutoShape again (or press the ESC key on your keyboard) to deselect the AutoShape tool.
