Default Two related questions concerning newsletter format

Thanks. I'll see what I can do with tables. The newsletter format I was
using was created long ago and had probably been modified by various people,
so that makes it difficult. I simply modified it by scanning a drawing of
the church and applying that to the existing document. Publisher is out of
the question because the church is using very old equipment and software.
They still have Word 2003 (I'm using 2007), so I saved the basic newsletter
as a 97-2003 document. It is not even a true template, just a
copy-and-paste type of job.

Word has only one type of column for the rest it uses tables.
You can insert pictures in the columns of a table (clue: - set the table
column width to fixed or it will expand to accommodate the picture), but
pictures that span columns are rather more complicated requiring the use
of extra merged columns and rows. For such a layout Publisher would be a
whole lot simpler.

That was it. The border (what I called a graphic line) is gone. Thanks!
Now, I'll have to try the borderless table, as you suggested.
I do need to be able to insert photos with borders around them,
though. Does Word only have the one type of columns, with columns
always flowing across the page and balanced?

Thanks for the help.
