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. DeanH "Ramesh" wrote: 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 |

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.

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.

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.

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 DeanH "Ramesh" wrote: Thanks again Dean. Am able to move the frame to the required location. But the frame still remains empty.

Dean, sorry for the miscommunication.
I have not used any frames for the pics. I simply copied them from another word file and pasted them in here. But when i change the setting to Inline with Text, the image disappears and I am only left with a rectangle with blank inside. I only referred to the rectangle as a frame. How do i get image to show in the rectangle? Thanks Ramesh "DeanH" wrote in message ... Are you saying that you have the images within Frame? Sorry I did not pick this up from your previous texts.

Ok, so not Frames then, phew ;-)
Still sounds like the images you have pasted from the other document has the images in a Drawing "box", if you double click the image, do you get an editing-type box? Eg, these are a Visio or PowerPoint (or some-such) object. If so, can you then select the image, or is it slit into its components? If it splits, do UNDO. I would then copy your image again, paste into PowerPoint, resize to the PowerPoint page, Save As, jpg or png format. Then into the Word file, Insert Picture, From File (there is an icon on the Picture tollbar for this), ensure you have the cursor where you want the image to reside, resize to fit your margins, and now In Line with Text will work. It seems that the original images in the source document have been embedded in a Drawing box which you have brought over. This is slightly unusual because InLineWithText works with these boxes as you would expect. Hope this helps. DeanH "Ramesh" wrote: Dean, sorry for the miscommunication.
