Controlling Picture Placement
I've been using Word since it replaced word perfect...am a software
engineer...write tech specs with it all the time. I've never had a problem with cutting an image from another app into the clipboard and pasting into a word doc. Just recently, I began to have serious problems with controlling the picture placement insid my word docs. I mean ANY picture....created in word, imported from outside of word, or cut-and-paste from the clipboard. For example, I can past an image just between 1 and 2 ... like: 1 [image] 2 If I then try to move this image above 1 or below 2 ... or heaven forbid i try to paste another image in there somewhere and drag-and-drop stuff around. The results are basically random. I've tried changing the paragraph attributes and all of the text-wrap attributes...i mean i've spent hours on this....and i'm just dealing with 2-images in this tech spec. What gives? Has anyone else noticed this kind of thing with the most recent office updates installed? This machine is basically vanilla...a new laptop with Windows Server 2003 on it and all MS patches/updates. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN! Much appreciated in advance. For now....i'm going to strip out the images and hyperlink to them on a web server or something .... not a great thing when people are reading a print version of the spec, eh? Regards, Todd Smart |
