How can I get an image to stay where I put it?
For example, I put a picture (size that fits good) in upper left corner and set the text to go down the side and then full page under it. I then want to put an image on the bottom, maybe right corner. I can get it there, and looks like the text goes down beside it, but in print preview (or when I print it) the bottom picture seems to go onto a next page. Even though it looks okay when I do it. And, if I didn't put the bottom picture on, the text would all fit on one page (the way it shows when I do it) Another example, I was playing with Word Art today, made sentence curve (like a rainbow shape) and put a picture under it. For no reason, just practicing. I clicked print preview/setup and it showed TWO pages with the words on one and the picture on another. Maybe there is a way to anchor things where I put them, or "group" them (together) all on one page? The way they look when I set it up? I keep thinking I will come to this in tutorials or my book, or figure it out, but I've always had a problem like this (the little I've used Word for images, I usually use Publisher) It seems the images don't stay where I put them, or won't print the way they look, etc. It's probably something simple. LIke "SIT" and STAY"! (LOL) I haven't done much with tables but maybe this is the way? This is Word 2007 but I was using 2003 up till recently. Thanks |

Right-click on a Picture and set the Wrapping options to Square (or other suitable choice) and make sure to check Lock Anchor and clear Move with Text. Then move the picture into place using the mouse to drag it.

How can I get an image to stay where I put it?
My world and welcome to it. I've never mastered the art of getting my
graphics to go where I want them in Word. I've tried the word-wrapping and anchor settings and I'm never completely satisfied with the results. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Carrie" wrote in message ...

No arguments that Word is often tricky to anchor objects exactly where you
want. My routine is always to enter all the text first, insert graphics (always edited first to the correct size and resolution in IrfanView) using Insert and not using Copy/Paste. Always insert In Line approximately where you want them anchored and then right-clicking and changing the wrapping and other parameters. Sometimes I may slightly tweak the height or width of an object very slightly in order to make the text wrapping smoother. I find that if you choose to insert as floating by default, you can get all sorts of horrors happen when you insert several floating objects on one page resulting in a visit to the trick cyclist for therapy.

If you have it and are comfortable with Publisher, stick with that. ;-) I know, but I'm in the process of learning "all there is to know" (that I can understand) about WORD So, I want to know just to know. It's like a challenge. I also think with the new Office it's easier to move files back and forth with Publisher and Word, so I could set up in Pub. first. (Actually sometimes I have used Flash, which I occasionally dabble in learnig, for graphics if I want a certain look, and move it into Publisher after) Seems like no matter how much time and attention to put on this, technology is always a few steps ahead of me (LOL) I do LOVE the new Office though, at least now I'm getting used to it. I mainly only use Word and Publisher. They do so much, probably more than I'll ever know, and ever use. And, in a way, this isn't too good because there's always so much to pick from. Which shape, which shadow, which 3D look, or maybe too much is too much... But, I want to know all about it, so I'll know what's there, I COULD be using. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Carrie" wrote in message ...

How can I get an image to stay where I put it?
Yes, Probably starting off with just text and reinserting would be good.
Make sure that the Graphics option is set to paste In Line as default. Then place the cursor where you want the the picture anchored, insert the picture and then set the wrapping and manoeuver the placement. Start from the top down, of course g It is best to turn on the ShowAll option (Ctrl+Shft+*) so that you can see where the paragraph marks are that will be used for anchoring.
