Word 2000 & graphics in textboxes
I have received a Word file with a textbox with text to the left on the
first page and a textbox with a photo to the right on the page. I am looking at it with Word 2000. The problem is that while I can look in the textbox, and, for instance, cut the photo, I cannot place it in any other position than at the very top left corner of the textbox. And when I import another photo into the textbox, it overwrites the existing photo. I have never understood how to manipulate, in particular, drag, photos in textboxes, or, as is the case here, how to add other photos. I would appreciate very much some pointers on what I have to do to carry out this seeemingly simple task. Hans L -- |

Only *text* can go in text boxes. This means that a photo will be In Line
With Text and will behave like text; you can't wrap text around it. -- Suzanne S.

Could this be changes with Order (bring to front, etc.)? Otherwise, how on earth do you place photos in different places of a page where you also have text. Do you need some kind of frames? (But I seem to have read that one should use text boxes wherever possible instead of frames.) Hans L -- |

Text in a document belongs in the document body, not in a text box *or* a
frame. Photos don't need to be in a text box at all; you can wrap text around them directly. If you want to impose a bit of order, you can put text and photos in a (borderless) table, and you *can* wrap text around photos in a table (in your case though, you might just need to put the text in an adjacent cell). -- Suzanne S.

Thanks, Suzanne. You are right about the text in an adjacent cell -- that should work just fine. Hans L -- |
