Macro needed (or available?) for standard figure placement algorit
I often insert figures from other sources into Word 2007 documents, mostly
academic manuscripts. I cannot have blank space in documents. I want each figure to be placed on the first available page (i.e., one with enough space) on or after its first mention in the text. I have never been able to do this automatically, but it's such a common algorithm that it seems there must be a simple way to do it. It wastes a lot of time to do it manually, which is what people are doing all through my institution and probably across the country all the time. To clarify the objective, suppose I want to introduce Figure 1 in the middle of page 6 of my document. If Figure 1 will fit on that page, that's where I would like it. If there is not enough room on the page after I refer to it, then I want the text to continue and the figure to be bumped to the top of page 7, with more text continuing after that. If I introduce two figures on page 6, say, and the second one won't even fit on page 7, then I want it to bump to page 8. A further advantage of implementing this algorithm automatically is that it can keep up with manuscript revisions and even changes from double space to single space. I want the figures to have automatically numbered captions associated with them and for the captions to move with the figures. (I do this regularly, but manually.) They are all displayed figures, not in-line figures. -- Charlie ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
