Dear All,
I am unable to get a desired behavior from MS Word. Not sure is it possible at all Suppose I am composing a long document. At some point I would like to insert a picture (fig. 1) and to continue writing. Next, I decided to add some text above the picture. It might happen that the picture will be moved to the next page while the noticeable part of the bottom of the current page remains white. So this behavior makes a lot of white spaces in the document, which is unacceptable. This is clear especially when we have large pictures. Certainly, I can anchor the picture to the page, but it means that the locaton of the image can become obsolete -- if I have composed ten more pages in the beginning, "fig. 1" should obviously move lower. What I would like to see in Word is an ability to create "imprecise" anchors. The picture should move with the text -- so if I have composed ten pages in the beginning, the picture should move ten pages lower. But if the image is moved to the next page, no white space remains in the bottom of the page -- the text from the next page is used to fill it. As far as I remember, LaTeX has such "floating boxes". Thanks for the reply! |

If you change the wrapping from In Line With Text to, say, Square, you can
anchor it to a specific paragraph and tell it to "Move with text." -- Suzanne S.

If you change the wrapping from In Line With Text to, say, Square, you can
anchor it to a specific paragraph and tell it to "Move with text." yes, thanks, but there are other problems in this solution: 1) if I anchor to the paragraph and set "move with text", the picture can overlap with the lower margin of the page; 2) if I align it to the specific part of the page (say, "to upper margin"), all my images will be located in the very start of each page, which is not nice-looking... |

For this reason I usually don't even attempt to place graphics until text
editing is complete. -- Suzanne S.
