I have run across a very frustrating problem in the drawing canvas & grid in Word. I first noticed that a feature was broken in Word 2010. I was unable to find a workaround, so I continued using Word 2007, which does not have the problem. With the release of Word 2013, I was hoping that the broken feature would get fixed. But it has not.

I have submitted a question about the broken feature bug to the Microsoft Community website. But there was never any resolution or even any helpful feedback. Here is a link to the question that I posted: ( Link )

The broken feature is cumbersome to describe in words alone. Following below on this web page is a sequence of six screenshots that should explain the broken feature to anyone who is interested.
