Default Locking pics to the text

Are you saying that you have the images within Frame? Sorry I did not pick
this up from your previous texts.
I tend not to use Frames to hold images, it can cause problems with
positioning, as the Image is trying to position it self within the Frame and
the Frame is trying to position itself in the document. I would cut the
images out of the Frames and place them directly in the text where you want
them to be. I only use Frames when I want something outside the working
Margins. Pictures in Word can work wonders on there own. Honest.
Best of Luck

Thanks again Dean.

Am able to move the frame to the required location. But the frame still
remains empty. How do I get the image back? It goes blank only when i
change to In line with text.

I would suggest that the image has gone to the point at where its anchor
is,
which is where the cursor was when orginally imported/pasted. I forgot to
mention that this could happen before sending the previous response.
Unfortuantely this will happen to all your images. It is still best to
change the setting to In Line with Text, then move the "new" image to its
appropriate place.
If you have many images, the Select Browse Object button (bottom right of
Word window) can be set to search for graphics, then click the arrows
above
and below this button for jump through your document quickly.
Hope this helps

Thanks Dean for your response.

I did try the In line with text option. Then the pic disappears, i only
get
a frame outlne and that too moved to another location.

Why does that happen?

Hope you could help with this too.

Thanks

Which Word version are you using?
For 2003 and prior the following can help, this may differ for 2007.
Change the setting for the image to "In Line with Text", this can be
found
by select image, mouse right click, Format Picture, Layout.
To ensure that all future images have this setting as default, Tools,
Options, Edit, Insert/Paste Pictures as: choose "In Line with Text"
option
(this is 2003 only).
The Move with text can be ignored by some of the other layout options,
ie
behind/in front/through, etc.
Beware using these options, the Square and Tight options can be used
for
images that you want "within" the text and the Move with Text options
does
work.
Hope this helps.

Hi,

Am writing a manual which needs pictures to be inserted between the
text
lines. The problem i am having is that while i make changes to the
text,
the pictures remain in the same place, rather than move along with the
text
around it. I tried using the option Move with text in the Format
Picture
screen. Makes no difference. what am i missing out on?

Thanks for any help. This is an urgent work I need to complete today.

Ramesh
