drawing in linked file disappears on update
Hello,
For quite some time, to my great annoyance, I've been having trouble with drawings and figures in Word, getting them positioned where I want them. As I'm mostly editing academic prose, the thing I want is usually quite simple: position the image somewhere on the page, with text above and below, and followed by a caption ("Figure 5: blablabla"). I've noticed that things are easier when I put my drawings (made by the built-in drawing tool) in a drawing frame (Insert, New drawing) that has the same width as the text, and I choose for the layout of the frame "Advanced" and then "above and below". There are two recurrent problems that I experience with this: (1) sometimes, when I want to move the image a bit (for whatever reason) it either seems to disappear (I can't find it anywhere anymore) or positions itself at the top of the page, and I cannot change its position. (2) recently, another problem has manifested istelf in a mster document with dynamiqu links to individual chapter fiels. While all is fine in the individual chapter files, some of my figures (once again, simple drawings made with the built-in drawin tool) simply disappear in a master document. I can put them back in but they disappear after each update, even after having drilled the changes to the individual file. I have no clue as to why this happens and why it only happens with some figures, and not with others that seem to have the same formatting. I need to hand in my document urgently, so any help would be much appreciated. Best, -Maarten. |

Hi Maarten,
the thing I want is usually quite simple: position the image somewhere on the page, with text above and below, and followed by a caption ("Figure 5: blablabla"). Word 2002 or 2003, right? What about if you - right-click the Drawing object - choose "format" command - in the Layout tab, select the "in line with the text" option Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
