Word Wrapping An Image
I have many .bitmap images in a folder I want to include in a Word document.
I have found that when I go to Insert - Picture - From File, select the image and it is pasted into the document I can not enter text on the right side of the image. I found a menu item that brings up a word wrap function but the button is grayed out and inactive. Is there a way to be able to enter text at the right side of an image? Thanks! Steve |

Word Wrapping An Image
When you click on the image in the document, the Picture toolbar should be
displayed. Click the Text Wrapping button on that toolbar (dog icon) and choose Square. -- Suzanne S.

Word Wrapping An Image
Thanks, Suzanne, that worked! Now I select the image and click Insert -
Caption. After adding my own text, with the top margin set at 0 the text is still too low in he caption box. Can I control that. Also, can I control the spacing between the lines of text? Finally, how do I remove the border around the caption box? Thank you! Steve "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Word Wrapping An Image
I thought you were the great Access, Word & Excel expert? This is beginners
stuff. Why not ask PCDatasheet for help? Just select the object and move the control handles. For the box, check the paragraph border settings. How would depend on what version of Word you are using.

Word Wrapping An Image
When you use Insert Caption for a wrapped image, you get a caption in a text
box, which is rarely what you really want. If you want to wrap text around both image and caption, it's better to insert both inline (In Line With Text) and then put both in a frame. If you want to retain the text box, however, note that you can use Format | Text Box | Text Box to reduce the internal margins. -- Suzanne S.
