Default Word doc

If you're the same "Lisa" who asked the same question in another thread...

You first have to understand that a graphic in a Word document is handled in
one of only 2 ways:

1- In Line with Text [meaning it is treated as though it were a character in
a paragraph and is a part of the text flow] or

2- Floating [meaning that some form of Text Wrapping has been applied which
causes the text to flow in a certain way relative to the graphic. However,
the graphic is still anchored to a paragraph.]

Therefore, any graphic in the body of the document will move if the text it
is attached to moves. IOW, the graphic can't be glued to a "page" because
Word's file structure doesn't contain any *page* information. To prevent the
graphic from shifting when text is added/removed the graphic needs to go in
the Header/Footer of the document.

Since your other post indicated that you were trying to create a letterhead,
the following link should provide you with what you need:

Additionally, please be a bit more attentive to how you post. Your other
message was tacked onto another thread which dealt with a different subject
altogether (referred to as "hijacking" a thread), and it's also preferred
that you not post the same issue multiple times. Thanks.

Right click onto the image, then select format picture, then the layout tab -
there are several options there to keep your image where you want it.

How do I lock an image into a word doc so that it doesn't move each time I
put text on?
