Graphics and Pictures, how to make visible?
Word refuses to make graphics (pictures and objects) visible in my
documents. How to battle Word - and win? Item 1 shows up as object when I right click it, Somtimes it shows "Format Drawing Canvas", sometimes "Format Object", sometimes something else..... This object is NOT visible in Normal view mode. If I switch to Print Layout it shows again. It does NOT have "Borders and Shading" either. How can I make this object visible in Normal mode? Item 2 shows "Format Object" always as I right click it and this object is visible in Normal view mode also - as it should be. It also has "Borders and Shading" choice. Why this bug in Word and how to deal with it? Nisse -- Remove the obvious part before replying by mail please! |

It isn't a bug.
The first object is "floating" in the drawing layer, but the second object is "in line" in the text layer. Objects in the drawing layer never appear in Normal view. Read the explanation at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/DrwGrphcs/DrawLayer.htm. You can change the first object's text wrapping to make it "in line", and then it will appear in Normal view. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

I must make you disappointed. The object WAS in fact Inline with text already, but it don't show anyways. I also checked the help in the link, but it don't work as described as the object is already inline with text - the information was faulty. Any other tip on how to fix visibility? /Nisse -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Although a drawing canvas may be formatted as In Line With Text, the objects
in it are still in the drawing layer. -- Suzanne S.
