Hi David,

I have a document of 160 pages with 200 pictures. Whenever I edit, Word
places at least one picture outside the page margin and the printable area
of the printer, either at the top or bottom of the page.

You mean they're still visible, just "hanging over" where you'd want/need
them to be? Yes, I've seen this before; never found a really good way around
the problem, though. What I've never tried, but might work, would be to put
the graphic in a single-celled table, set that to "float", and see if it
doesn't respect the margins a bit better.

Of course, you can only do this in versions of Word where text wrap around
tables is supported. Unfortunately, you don't mention which you're using...

The images are 'float over text' and linked to paragraphs, which obviously
move about during edits. I appreciate that the pictures are in a graphics
layer.

Is there any way that I can force Word to keep the images within the text
(or any other) margins so that I don't have to search the entire document
every time I edit it looking for misplaced pictures?
