Locking pictures onto page Word 2007 & remove text
I have written a 3 page text with color photos inserted in various positions.
I wish to lock these pictures in place, and remove the text, so that I can print out pictures only in color. I have so far used 'tight' text wrapping, located against absolute position on the page and then locked anchor on each picture. Then my aim is to use a separate printer to print the text in black and white around the already printed color pictures However when I delete the text the photo's disappear as well! What do I do?

The pictures are anchored to the text. Instead of deleting the text, change
the font color to white. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "daviddc" wrote in message ...

Suzanne
Many thanks. This had crossed my mind. Seemed like cheating!!!!!!! Did it last year ( it's my Christmas letter - and only slow color printer) - have the separate sheets for color and for B&W text but can't for life of me remember how I did it! If I was starting again is there any way I can layout the pictures over three blank pages (ie no text) and fix them in place? Then add text if I wanted to? -- David PS Just to say I am a Suzanne Barnhill fan - on the occasions that I look at the discussions I keep an eye open for your solutions!!!! "Suzanne S.

Locking pictures onto page Word 2007 & remove text
I do this once a year, too, when I create the programs for our annual Rotary
installation and awards banquet. I want to print the Rotary annual theme logo on my color printer, but the text resolution is much better on the laser, so I print just the graphic in color and then the text in black on the LaserJet. I do it by making the text white for the color printer, then formatting the picture to 100% brightness, which makes it disappear (but still take up space). Although it would conceivably be possible to use text boxes and very precise positioning to create two separate documents, or to add and remove elements from a single document, the technique of white text and 100% brightness is so simple and works so well for me that I just wouldn't consider any other approach. -- Suzanne S.

Locking pictures onto page Word 2007 & remove text
Well, I had a sleep and it worked itself out. I believe that if I made text
white the desk jet printer would just make 'white ink text ' and take longer (it did when I tried on dark paper) So, I created a master document with Text and Pictures, in exact place I wanted them: Wrap 'Tight'. Other Wrap Options: Absolute Position: relative to 'page' Lock on Page Next I opened a new document, and viewed it, with scrolling , side by side with master docuemnt Copied each picture individually onto new page Wrap options ( individually after copying to make sure kept exact same position) : As before, checked Absolute Position: relative to page ( checked hadn't moved) Locked on page Checked 'In front of text' Did this for each picture Now I have correct position to act as master color print For the text I just mad sure that on teh original sheet all the pictures wer anchored. Then I put a white text box over the top of each picture Now I have the matching text sheets to cprint ontop of the matching already printed color sheets - pictures and text are in right poristions. Took a few minutes when I had it figured out. Thanks for the time and the helping my brain to start working -- David "Suzanne S.

AFAIK, no printer will "print" white text unless (a) it's formatted as black
and you have substituted a white ink cartridge for the black one or (b) you have a colored background that the text is reversed out of, and in that case it's printing the background, not the text. -- Suzanne S.
