If you display anchors for graphics it makes it a little easier. You can
drag and drop the anchor where you want your graphic to reside (even if it shows up elsewhere on the page). -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup. Please post replies and questions to the newsgroup so that others can learn from my ignorance and your wisdom. "Bill Watkins" wrote in message ... I've had a little more luck getting the WordArt pastes into the IF field, but I'm having trouble getting reliable behaivior from the field if the WordArt object is "floating". It seems like once the IF field inserts the object as floating, it can't be removed by a later update of the field. The floating object remains even if I delete the entire field, and can only be deleted by direct deletion of the object. (It's made more confusing, because there's no apparent indication that the object is "in" the fieldcode.) The behavior seems reliable if I insert the object as an in-line "Picture", but in this case, you lose the object positioning information and have to mess around with paragraph positioning (of the field itself). Inserting from Autotext also worked, but in this case, it looks like you have to contend with template storage. "Bill Watkins" wrote in message ... Graham, thanks for the tip -- I had tried to find a way to "grab" the WordArt object and paste it into the IF "action" field before I posted the question, but couldn't figure a way to do it (I couldn't seem to find a link field or anything similar "underneath" it that actually stored the object). Can you suggest how to copy it? Thanks, Bill "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... You can use the Word Art (in Word 2002/3) in the conditional field just as if it were text, or save the required artwork as an autotext entry and use the conditional field to insert an autotext field to call the graphic. eg {IF {Mergefield fieldname} = condition "Put your Word Art here"} or {IF {Mergefield fieldname} = condition "{Autotext "name"}"} You will have to build the condition by hand using CTRL+F9 for the field delimiters. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Bill Watkins wrote: Is there a way using the IF field to conditionally include a WordArt object? Thanks. |
