Text Stops Wrapping around Tables and Moves the Tables - Mac
I make a table and put it where I want it, then start typing text around it.
The text wraps for awhile, but inevitably during the editing process the table starts moving. I'm using a single celled, borderless table. I have it in a template to format text around a protruding graphic on pre-printed letterhead. Text starts out wrapping but inevitably the table loses its mooring and starts moving with text. Any other suggestions for how to make a template to wrap around a protruding graphic? I'm using Office Word 2004 for MAc on a G5 iMac with 10.3.9 operating system. |

Assuming the graphic is only on the first page of any document based on this template, set the page layout to "Different first page" and then anchor* the table (or, preferably, a text box) in the first-page header. Drag the table or box to the correct location and then close the header area. No matter what you place in the body of the document, the table/box won't move. *To anchor a floating object in the header, open the header area and, while the cursor is in the header, insert the object. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Hi Jay.
Sorry for sending the empty message a moment ago (New here). I came up with a very simple solution, just wanted to share it and also so if anyone sees problems: In the table I need to fix, I can fix the position using "Table Properties"! In "Table Properties," click on "Table," "Positioning" and unclick "Move with Text." The table has stayed put when I dropped a block of text into a new document where before the table moved! Wish me lots of luck :-) and thanx for reponding. Allen "Jay Freedman" wrote: Allen wrote: I make a table and put it where I want it, then start typing text around it.
