Oh!  Yes, there is!  It's pretty simple.  Make sure the cursor is before
the box (or do this before creating the box).  Edit the box options
so that the outside margin of the box on the left and right is, say,
one inch (you can adjust this based on the amount of space is actually
outside the box).  Make sure you set "Wrap text around box" to "Yes".
If the outside margin is big enough (but small enough to allow the box
size you want), WordPerfect will think there is not enough room for text
and put the text below the box.

Good luck!

Gail
