Even if it appears to be a mess, do you feel you have more control over the
image placement? They changed the graphics engine in 2007 and unfortunately
it doesn't seem to be as stable as the old graphics engine. When you use
Compatibility Mode that allows you to use the old graphics engine but a
drawback to this is it doesn't allow you to use all of the new image
features.

No, when I save my doc as a 97-2003 format it goes from a 6-page document
to
an 11-page document with pictures all over the place, huge blank spaces in
my
text, and it's just a total mess.

I am going crazy. I am not a rookie user, but since I've gotten Word
2007
I
am having all kinds of trouble placing images into my documents AND
making
them stay where I want them to stay. I have tried positioning them
into
the
six segments of my page and that seems to work, but I usually need to
place
my pictures in various locations on a page. If I simply try to do a
'text-wrap' the image will not stay anchored to the page. The choice
that
seems to work best is the one called 'Through'. The pictures on my
first
page still move though if I begin to move a picture that I've placed
onto
a
second page. I've used Word 2003 AND Microsoft Works with perfect
results.
What has happened to this most basic function?
I have a sample document if there is any way to send it to someone to
have
a
look at. Is there a way in this forum?
Thank you for the help.
