Correct layout of large pictures / tables
Hello,
my question regards the correct layout of large picutres (or tables). I am using Word v9. Say I want to include a large picture into my Word document - the picture's height is almost equal to the page height. I want the picture to stay "close" to a certain paragraph, but the picture needs not immediately follow that paragraph. When I try to do so, I encounter the following troubles: 1) if I insert the picture as inline object, the page is wrapped before the picture. So, the space between the insertion point and the end of the page remains blank. Depending on where the insertion point is situated on the page, in the worst case almost the whole page may remain white paper... Inacceptable as good document formatting. 2) the other possibility is to insert the picture somehow as a floating object, and anchor it to the paragraph. However, in this way I have not found out how to accomplish what I want to do... As this happens *every time* that somebody wants to insert a large picture / table into a Word document and have it correctly formatted! So, I suppose that some of you have got a solution on this. Any help is appreciated! Jens |

Correct layout of large pictures / tables
G'day Jens Meier ,
99% of the time I use an immediately preceding heading, and then scale the picture down enough to fit the page. Caveat: margins must be set tight to the header and footer boundaries to maximise vertical space.
