[dba-Tech] Word 2007 question -- more on freeform

PowerPoint and Excel 2007 offer a freeform option, which lets you alter the 
shape of an AutoShape by moving edit points.

Word 2007 has the option in the Insert Shapes group on the Format tab. 
Freeform is an option in the Edit Shape dropddown list, but you can't select 
it -- can't display the dropdown list at all.

I've tried inserting the AutoShape in the Drawing Canvas and that doesn't 
make any difference. Also noticed that the Edit Shape option doesn't seem to 
be enabled at all -- at any time.

Any ideas?
