Drawing / Picture Box Text Wrapping Problem. Please Help
Fellow Forum Members,
My Manual is being done using Word 2003. It has a TOP and BOTTOM margin of 1 inch in the Headers And Footers mode. In addition, all of my graphics are inside a drawing box. The Text Wrapping I have for all my drawing boxes is set to "TOP and BOTTOM". The problem I'm having is that I'm wasting a lot of time monkeying around with positioning the big drawing boxes. For some reason they tend to magnetise themselves to the top edge of the paper. This doesn't make sense to me because it sticks itself to the top edge of the paper and not to the bottom of the 1 inch HEADER I have setup. Why does the picture / drawing box ignore the 1 inch Header and behave like a magnet to the top edge of the paper? How can I setup a header that will prevent this from happening? Or how do I adjust the picture / drawing box Top and Bottom Text Wrapping to stop sticking to the top edge of the paper? I tried .5" setting for the TOP and this does not prevent the picture / drawing box from sticking to the top edge of the paper. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

Set the wrapping on your drawing canvas as Square and its position as Top
Relative to Margin. FWIW, I don't even see Top and Bottom as a wrapping option for drawing canvases. Alternatively, if you want your canvas to remain in a given location relative to text, format it as In Line With Text (keeping in mind that you may need to move some text in its vicinity when editing is complete). -- Suzanne S.

Drawing / Picture Box Text Wrapping Problem. Please Help
Suzanne,
Thanks for the tip. If you click on the ADVANCED button in the Format Drawing Dialog box the TOP and BOTTOM option is located on the right. I have tried out your Square option. It does fix the problem with the top of the drawing canvas sticking to the top edge of the paper, BUT it creates another problem. It does not flow very well with the text. If I set it relative to margin the Flow with Text checkmark turn off after you hit OK. The "IN LINE WITH TEXT" option is the option I should be using, BUT I can't because my Drawing Canvas boxes are pasted within a style of text that has a paragraph left margin indent of 1.25 inches. Therefore, the result I get is a drawing canvas box that hides off the page on the right side. There is no way to center it on the center of the page and have it However, this option acknowlegdes the existance of a Header and Footer. "Suzanne S.

Create a new paragraph style for the drawing canvases? Or just use Normal

Drawing / Picture Box Text Wrapping Problem. Please Help
Thanks for the tip. Creating a paragraph style just to contain drawing boxes
is probably the way to go. It will allow me to use the IN LINE WITH TEXT option and work around the problem "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Create a new paragraph style for the drawing canvases?

My principle is to create a paragraph style for any formatting I need more
than twice. -- Suzanne S.
