Hello again,

Glad the first problem is sorted.

Regarding the layout tab being disabled ... is it possible that the relevant
image is actually two or more images that have been grouped? If you
right-click the image and expand the Grouping menu, is the Ungroup menu item
enabled? If it is then that may be the source of the problem.

I think that when objects are grouped you can select the group as a whole or
you can select an element of the group. If you select only an element of the
group then I believe that various formatting options (such as the layout tab)
are disabled.

If there is a group involved, a single-click selects the group as a whole
but clicking one of the group elements after the group has been selected,
seems to de-select the group (for some purposes but not for all) and select
the element. In this situation the layout tab would be disabled. I'm using
word 2003 and when a group is selected the whole group shows with sizing
handles which are little white circles and when an element of the group is
selected the element has little grey circular handles with small x's.

If this is the situation that you've got, then make sure that when you bring
up the format dialog, the group is the thing selected, not one of the group
elements.

Hope this helps.

ED you are a bloody genius, I cant thank you enough.
I knew the answer would be two clicks away, it always is; it's just finding
them.
I just have one image left now that I cant alter because the layout tab is
disabled in the object properties. I know you have the answer.

again
THANK YOU

Hi DreamTek,

It sounds like maybe the images are anchored to a paragraph which is itself
being pushed onto the next page.

Click on the paragraph mark button on the standard toolbar (or select
Tools/Options/View/Formatting marks/All) so that you can see the paragraph
marks and also see the image's anchor when you click an image. If the anchor
is at a paragraph that may be pushed onto the next page, drag the anchor to
one that won't.

Cheers.
