Pictures (right/left align) cut off after being anchored to paragr
The problem that I am having is I'm trying to consistently include images in documents without them overwrapping the footer or getting cut-off at the end of a page. For smaller images (often cropped screenshots) I usually use the following options: (This shows you options for an image appearing on the right.) Word Version: 2003 Format Picture Layout: Layout Wrapping style - Tight Layout Horizontal alignment - Right Advanced Layout Properties: Picture Position Horizontal Alignment - Right relative to Margin Picture Position Vertical Alignment - Top relative to Line Picture Position Options - Move object with text Text Wrapping Wrapping style - Right Text Wrapping Wrap Text - Left only These options work great for what I need them to do with one major exception. Images that near the end of a page sometimes get cut-off. They sometimes show over the footer and do not force the paragraph to wrap to the next page accordingly. I'm fairly proficient with styles and it's not a situation with errant "keep with next" styles or anything like that. It just seems to me that Word is not sophisticated enough to calculate where the bottom of the image is going to fall (based on the dimensions of the image and the location of the paragraph) to push it to the next page if the situation calls for it. I know I can use inline images but aesthetically, that's a bad idea for the images to which I'm referring. These images are ideally suited to floating left or right on a paragraph and because they directly pertain to a specific paragraph or paragraph(s) it makes sense to anchor them to the paragraph so the content stays intact. Am I grossly misunderstanding or not utilizing some feature in Word or is this a glaring deficiency in the program? I've had this problem for years now and despite my best attempts to search for an answer (both on the Web and in books) I have not been able to find a solution. Any help you can provide in this regard will be greatly appreciated. (I'm sorry if this should be in the "Drawing and Graphics" discussion group. I wasn't sure which would be the appropriate group.) -- Walter Mitchell Pelowski Web Application Developer & Trainer |

I don't think you're missing something. After more than a decade of working in Word, I'm accepting the paradigm that Word's floating pictures and automatic pagination are mutually exclusive (exactly because of the described effects near page margins): If I need the latter, I refuse to use Shapes. If I'm forced to Shapes, I will have to inspect all of them after a major page reflow. Sorry, I don't have a better solution, either.

Thank you for the response Robert. I'm simply amazed that this issue has not yet been fixed as it must be a common one with users. Thanks again. -- Walter Mitchell Pelowski Web Application Developer & Trainer |
