How do you insert picture place holders in Word?
Hi All,
I want to insert an empty picture place holder in a word document, for later inserting when finalising. Basically I create reports that are often 100 pages in length,, I then have to insert graphics, flow charts, images etc, each of these are often 500kb so including them in the reports as I go only slows down the computer, especially as the report is kept on a network file system. Even working on a local version (stored on my hard disk is quite slow). As a result I want to put in picture place holders much in the same way as can be used in Powerpoint, so I can space out the documents correctly and then insert the images etc at the very end. Using a text box, autoshape etc doesn't seem to work as it resizes automatically to the image size. Whereas I want to fix the picture "frame" size so when I bring in the graphic/image/flowchart etc it fits the frame I have created for it thereby eliminating the need to mess around with formatting. I am sure you used to be able to do this in Word for Windows (3.11) but it seems to have disappeared in later versions. I am using Word for Office XP. |
