I'm trying to create a diagram in word, I've grouped some things together - circles with text box inside, and I can't get it to ungroup so I can alter one of the bits, when I select the grouped sections the 'ungroup' option doesn't appear. I've tried every combination I can think of and nothing works I've never had this problem with word before. Its not much of a problem at the moment, but I need to incorporate this bit within a larger diagram and I'm wondering how I can get the components back as single items if I want to rearrange them later, as I expect this is only the first attempt of many - should I do it in publisher instead?

Joyce, I had such problems with Word and PPT (particularly that the diagrams didn't look very professional), that I have now switched to SmartDraw, which produces much nicer diagrams.

Another good software programme is MS Visio, a few forum posters recommended I try it, but it's a little more tricky to use than Smartdraw (but you can get a 90 day free download).

I've never tried Publisher for diagrams.

glad it isn't just me then! I will try the other program, thanks for that.
