Inserting Fames and Pictures
You don't need to insert a picture in a frame in order to drag it around,
you set the layout property of the picture (right click properties) to something other than in line with text, which moves it from the text layer to the graphics layer. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org G.G. Biggar, Jr. wrote: Recently, I had to restore my Office 2000. Traditionally, when I would work with pictures and frames, I would first prepare the picture in Photoshop. Once to the size that I wanted, I would insert it into my Word document, using Insert\Picture\From file. Then, to move the picture about the page easily, I would place the picture within a frame by first dragging the mouse vertically down the left side of the page (by the side of the picture); this would highlight the picture in black and white relief. Then, I would click on Insert\Frame, etc. Now, when I do this, there is no Frame option under the Insert tab. Where did it go? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Gordon Biggar Houston, Texas |

As Graham says, you no longer need a frame to do this, but frames are handy
for other things. There's an Insert Frame button on the Forms toolbar, but you can add it to any other toolbar or restore it to the Insert menu using Tools | Customize. -- Suzanne S.

Inserting Fames and Pictures
Is there a way to place the Insert Frame reference under the Insert tab
(i.e., as part of the drop down menu), as opposed to adding the Insert Frame option to the toolbar itself? I had it that way before, and it takes up less space on the toolbar, which is crowded as it is. GGB "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

Inserting Fames and Pictures
It's a small point, but:
When one drags the reference to the toolbar, placing it, for example, over the Insert tab, the reference is placed alongside the Insert tab when the mouse button is released, and the reference does not become a member of the dropdown list under the Insert tab. However, if one continues to drag the reference down through the items shown in the dropdown menu, it will then be placed there when the mouse button is released. Again, a small point for those who may be in the habit of doing such on a regular basis. GGB "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... You have been told twice: Drag it to the menu.

on the menu. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "G.G. Biggar, Jr." wrote in message ...
