How to span/split a tall picture to multiple pages
Hello,
As in title - I am trying to span an image to multiple pages without having to manually cut it using an image editor. For example, a picture that is 3 pages height and 1 page width - it should split into 3 pages nicely rather than one page containing the partial image. I would prefer not to split the picture, but store it as one whole image in the word document, with the images continuing into the next page if too tall to fit in one page. Thanks in advance. -- Singapore Web Design http://www.bootstrike.com/Webdesign/ Singapore Web Hosting http://www.bootstrike.com/WinXP/faq.html Windows XP FAQ |

How to span/split a tall picture to multiple pages
Objects in Word cannot span pages, so what you ask is impossible.

How to span/split a tall picture to multiple pages
Hello,
Thank you for your prompt response. PS: http://word.mvps.org/index.html has an item on the left named 'site map' that links to a Zip file. Is this on purpose? -- Singapore Web Design http://www.bootstrike.com/Webdesign/ Singapore Web Hosting http://www.bootstrike.com/WinXP/faq.html Windows XP FAQ "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

How to span/split a tall picture to multiple pages
How about inserting the image into the file three times, masking first
the bottom 2/3, then the top and bottom 1/3s, then the top 2/3?

How to span/split a tall picture to multiple pages
Then the document will bloat (three images and not one). The only sensible
solution is to split it in an image editor - such as the free IrfanView. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "grammatim" wrote in message ...

See OP's first sentence.
I downloaded both Irfan and GIMP (because they were there), on the offchance that I might someday need a graphics program. How good are they?

How to span/split a tall picture to multiple pages
The point was, you cannot do what the OP wants to do (split across pages):
your solution does give a result but at the expense of putting three graphics into the document which will cause enormous bloat and therefore is inadvisable to even try. IrfanView is probably the leading free graphics editor. I use it a huge amount for editing graphics before they are inserted into Word and for editing pictures before they go on the web. Although the graphics handling in Word 2007 seems to be a better than in previous versions, it still seems advantageous to actually resample pictures/graphics in IrfanView so that they are the correct size and resolution before inserting them. The end document is much smaller and easier to handle (especially long documents with many graphics) as Word still keep remnants for the Reset graphic option. Terry "grammatim" wrote in message ...

If you use Compress Picture in Word 2003 (and wherever else it's available),
cropped areas are deleted. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ...
