Please point me to a tutorial on how Word graphics work. I tried entering
some things in the Help lookup, but couldn't find anything useful.

I have a table with several graphics in it. One of the visible graphics has
the Square layout. Several rows above it, I have another graphic that I can
only see the circles at the corners. When I set the layout to this second
graphic as Square, not only does it NOT appear, but the graphic which is
several rows below it (and was fine) gets repositioned 2 rows lower, and my
table is garbled!

I can't seem to understand the relationships between layout and visibility,
especially when I'm working with tables.

Sometimes I just delete the graphic and start over, but sometimes I get
unpredictable results when I send this as an email.

So - I'm looking for some good explanation of what's going on with graphics
in tables.

Hi Margaret

There are two things going on here.

One is about visibility. For that, see
I inserted some graphics in a document, but now I can't see them; or there
is just an empty box where one should be; or my graphics won't print
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/DrwGrp...leGraphics.htm

The other issue is about how graphics are positioned. They can be in-line or
floating. On the layout tab, any wrapping style other than "in-line with
text" is floating. My general rule is to use in-line unless I explicitly
want text to wrap around my image. And then I float it. For more
information, see
Inline versus floating graphics

Hope this helps.
