Text boxes and shapes
I am using Word 2003, I created a document in Print Layout mode, with a sreen
shot, that has text boxes and arrows pointing to the screen shot, when I go into normal view, they disappaer, and when I go to web view, they are not even close to where they are suppose to be. Is there anyway to fix this. Thanks |

Hi Cyndi-
Re Normal View: Drawn graphics _are not_ supposed to be visible in tha tview, which is predominantly intended for more efficient entry & revision of text, especially in longer documents. Graphics slow things down immensely. As to the "shifting" of the drawn objects, there could be several reasons for that, but Word is well known for that type of behavior. One factor is that web files and print files actually handle content differently, and switching back & forth between Web & Print Layout Views can cause the behavior. Other factors come into play as well. I can't address that issue because I avoid using Word for web design work... especially if there is any amount of graphic content. You might want to search the NG for additional insight on the 'pros & cons' of using Word for creating web pages. I believe you'll find that it is generally discouraged, and there are much better programs for that purpose. Even Publisher might be a better way to go.

Thanks so much for your input, I had a feeling that was the deal with normal
view, and as far as the web view goes, I don't need it to look good, cause I don't plan on using it, it was more my boss that wanted to know.
