Have you looked at the help text?  Do you see that menu labelled

inserts a table.  Try it and see how it works.

If you are using a table, see previous advice.  If not, I don't 
imagine anyone can help you whilst you keep secret exactly what you are doing.

The *drawing*?!  Why did no-one mention drawings in their 
answers?  Oh, perhaps because you kept them a secret too?

This behaviour appears to depend on how your graphic is 
anchored.  Try anchoring As Character to achieve what you need easily.

With tables, it's probably too simple for there to be a special 
command.  See previous advice.
