In the table properties dialog, you can set the text wrapping for the table.
As far as sizing the picture is concerned, to do it "automatically", you
would need a macro and the following may help:

'Insert Logo on Title Page
myDoc.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).R ange.Tables(1).Cell(1,
1).Range.Delete
myDoc.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).R ange.Tables(1).Cell(1,
1).Range.InlineShapes.AddPicture _ Filename:=txtLargeLogoPath
'Adjust size of logo to match the avalable space
oheight =
myDoc.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).R ange.Tables(1).Cell(1,
1).Range.InlineShapes(1).Height
owidth =
myDoc.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).R ange.Tables(1).Cell(1,
1).Range.InlineShapes(1).Width
If oheight InchesToPoints(2) Then
With
myDoc.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).R ange.Tables(1).Cell(1,
1).Range.InlineShapes(1)
.Height = InchesToPoints(2)
.Width = owidth * InchesToPoints(2) / oheight
End With
End If
oheight =
myDoc.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).R ange.Tables(1).Cell(1,
1).Range.InlineShapes(1).Height
owidth =
myDoc.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).R ange.Tables(1).Cell(1,
1).Range.InlineShapes(1).Width
If owidth InchesToPoints(2.85) Then
With
myDoc.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).R ange.Tables(1).Cell(1,
1).Range.InlineShapes(1)
.Width = InchesToPoints(2.85)
.Height = oheight * InchesToPoints(2.85) / owidth
End With
End If

Thanks, Doug, I have tried that but even when I make the cell height an
exact measurement, the photograph is not resized to fit. Also, when I
insert the table cell into the text, the text does not wrap around the
picture in the cell.
I am obviously missing something here!

Insert a one cell table of the required dimensions at the locations where
you want the picture to appear and then insert the picture into that
cell.

I have to create text documents and then insert photographs at various
positions - lined up with the left or right margins within the various
paragraphs. No matter how I insert the pictures, I can't get them to stay
where I want them or to be the size I need them.

Would it be possible to use frames for this rather than just "insert
picture from file"? I have tried this but the picture never fits into
the frame.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

TIA
