I am trying to wrap text around an image that takes up an *entire* page. I
just can't get this to work. I have tried all settings on the image only,
tried putting a frame around the image, putting it in a table, everything.
The best I can get is to have the whole image on a single page except for one
line of text that just doesn't want to go away.
I have scoured the web for this issue but there doesn't seem to be anything
addressing issues with full page images.
Help!!!
You haven't found anything because Word can't do it. It has often been requested
but has never been implemented.
In technical terms, every floating object in Word is required to be anchored to
a paragraph of regular text _on the same page_ as the object. There are no
exceptions.
In philosophical terms, Word is a word processor, not a page layout or desktop
publishing program. It has no concept of pages as static containers as you would
find in Publisher and similar programs; a page in Word exists only to the extent
that it's filled with text, and all other objects are tied to the text flow.
The closest you'll get in Word is to place an empty paragraph mark on the page
and anchor the image in that paragraph. However, text before and after that
paragraph won't flow around it, and will have to be adjusted manually to avoid
big patches of empty space.
