Adding the Frame command to the INSERT option on the toolbar
As always, these forums are the best thing since sliced bread. You folks
possess a wealth of knowledge, and you are most patient when dealing with the "great unwashed" among us. I'd even be willing to pay a retainer fee just to have access to such a knowledgeable crowd of folks who must obviously enjoy dispensing their wisdom. Once more, many thanks! GGB "Gordon Biggar" wrote in message ... I remember now why I used a frame for encompassing pictures. I believe it was Suzanne Barnhill who put me on to this some years ago when I was writing a book that encompassed 95 photographs. Each photo had a caption below it (e.g., Figure 1, etc.). By placing the frame around both the picture and the caption, one could drag the combination without having to move (and realign) both photos and captions separately. On another subject: is Office 2007 a significant improvement over my Office 2000? I use both Word and Excel for pretty basic stuff, and I haven't felt deprived. However, I don't want to run into the situation where older files are not recognized by more recent software. Or, is Microsoft working on something newer, and it might pay to wait? Thanks in advance.

If you right-click on the inserted picture, change the Text Wrapping option from In Line to one of the floating options. Then you can drag them around and change the alignment. But as to the Frame command, I remember that there was a mistake with this command and it was called something else rather weird but for the life of me I cannot remember what it was called (in my defense Word 2000 was a long time and many incarnations ago). -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Gordon Biggar" wrote in message ... I understand the process, but I cannot locate the command "Frame" under any of the categories shown. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... The same way you add any other command to a menu or toolbar: Tools | Customize, locate the command and drag it to the menu or toolbar. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...oToToolbar.htm -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "G.G. Biggar, Jr." wrote in message ... Formerly, I was able to insert a frame about a picture that I had previously inserted onto a page by using the INSERT option on the toolbar. Now, for some reason, this command has disappeared. How do I reinstate the FRAME command within the INSERT dropdown option? I am using Office 2000. Thanks in advance. Gordon Biggar Houston, Texas |
