[Terry Farrell]

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.

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
