Yes, Probably starting off with just text and reinserting would be good.
Make sure that the Graphics option is set to paste In Line as default. Then
place the cursor where you want the the picture anchored, insert the picture
and then set the wrapping and manoeuver the placement. Start from the top
down, of course g

It is best to turn on the ShowAll option (Ctrl+Shft+*) so that you can see
where the paragraph marks are that will be used for anchoring.

No arguments that Word is often tricky to anchor objects exactly where
you want. My routine is always to enter all the text first, insert
graphics (always edited first to the correct size and resolution in
IrfanView) using Insert and not using Copy/Paste. Always insert In Line
approximately where you want them anchored and then right-clicking and
changing the wrapping and other parameters. Sometimes I may slightly
tweak the height or width of an object very slightly in order to make
the text wrapping smoother.

I find that if you choose to insert as floating by default, you can get
all sorts of horrors happen when you insert several floating objects on
one page resulting in a visit to the trick cyclist for therapy.

Yes, I think inserting the text first probably would work best.
I wonder, too if saving the text file and opennig it up again new and
then adding pictures to it might work?

I still have to try what I read here yesterday, and make sure my
settings are right for it.

I start playing around with it and get sidetracked trying all the
different effects, color, shapes, etc that can be used.

Newsletter are a snap in Publisher. If you have it and are comfortable
with Publisher, stick with that. ;-)

My world and welcome to it. I've never mastered the art of getting my
graphics to go where I want them in Word. I've tried the word-wrapping
and anchor settings and I'm never completely satisfied with the
results.


Well if someone experienced like you can't get it right, I don't feel
so bad!
One thing I've done (like for a Christmas Newsletter) was print the
page with the graphics, and then set up the text- guessing where it
would go to fit around the pictures, and printing it out.

It worked pretty good.

This is mainly just something I'm coming across as I learn more about
Word. I use (and know moe about ) Publisher more for this sort of
thing, and it seems easier to set up in that.

But, you never know, someday I might need to know how to do it in Word
(LOL)

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
