Default How can I get an image to stay where I put it?


For example, I put a picture (size that fits good) in upper left corner and set the text to go down the side and then full page under it. I then want to put an image on the bottom, maybe right corner. I can get it there, and looks like the text goes down beside it, but in print preview (or when I print it) the bottom picture seems to go onto a next page. Even though it looks okay when I do it. And, if I didn't put the bottom picture on, the text would all fit on one page (the way it shows when I do it)

Another example, I was playing with Word Art today, made sentence curve (like a rainbow shape) and put a picture under it. For no reason, just practicing. I clicked print preview/setup and it showed TWO pages with the words on one and the picture on another.

Maybe there is a way to anchor things where I put them, or "group" them (together) all on one page? The way they look when I set it up?

I keep thinking I will come to this in tutorials or my book, or figure it out, but I've always had a problem like this (the little I've used Word for images, I usually use Publisher) It seems the images don't stay where I put them, or won't print the way they look, etc. It's probably something simple. LIke "SIT" and STAY"! (LOL)

I haven't done much with tables but maybe this is the way?

This is Word 2007 but I was using 2003 up till recently.

Thanks
