Moving picture between sections
I'm designing a newsletter in Word, with multiple sections and columns. I
have inserted a picture in one of the paragraphs of a 2-column section, formatting the picture with "tight" wrap. When I add another section, the picture moves and I can't get it to stay in my original paragraph. I've tried locking the anchor, but it doesn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!!! |

Do you need the text in this column to flow around the picture? If not (i.e., a paragraph ends normally above and a new one starts below), format the picture as "in line with text". That's as stable as you're gonna get it in Word. HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |

Moving picture between sections
I do want the text to wrap around the picture. The only way I can get it to
stay in the paragraph is if I leave it on the edge of the paragraph. I have tried copying and pasting and re-inserting, but the picture keeps plopping down in the next section. The picture was imported from Microsofts's website. Would that have anything to do with it? "Robert M.

No, the origin is most likely of no consequence. You are working on the boundaries of what is "easy" in Word here (columns combined with shapes), I'd say. Make sure the picture is actually anchored to the paragraph in question. You can play with other options (positioning it relative to column, page, etc.), but if you change too much of the surroundings, expect having to reposition the picture again. I would only worry with pictures once all other content is finalized. Then, as soon as you're happy with the layout, convert to PDF and ship that to your readers. That's how I'd do a newsletter -- others might point out there are better applications for this sort of thing (Publisher from Office, a host of real DTP applications from other manufacturers).
