Word 2007: How to copy and paste an image in two coloum document
Hi,
A problem I have been having is pasting/inserting images at a particular location in my document. This problem is especially prevalent in multi-coloum documents. Typically, when I paste or insert an image it will appear in a completely random location in the document, often many pages away from where I wanted it. Is there a way to force the image to appear in a location that I can specify? (If I recall correctly, there used to be a way to do this by creating some kind of invisible frame object, which would then contain an image, table, or text...) |

This problem is especially prevalent in multi-coloum documents. depends on how you want to handle the pictu if you can live with an inline picture (no fancy run-text-around-picture options available there), then it's pretty simple. Typically, when I paste or insert an image it will appear in a completely random location in the document, often many pages away from where I wanted it. That's hard to fathom, unless your view is set to something like 25-% so you see a couple of pages together at the time of insertion. Is there a way to force the image to appear in a location that I can specify? (If I recall correctly, there used to be a way to do this by creating some kind of invisible frame object, which would then contain an image, table, or text...) If you need Shapes (i.e., floating images, say, in the middle of a two-column layout with text running around), then yes: you can in fact create a textbox or frame, and insertion might indeed be a bit easier. OTOH, it's kind of unnecessary to use any of these, because a picture can itself be set to be a shape (so a textbox or frame only complicates matters, in general). [Frames might be part of a paragraph style definition, so if you want a picture always at the same position, say, horizontally relative to the page margins, it's still a good tool.] I can't seem to find more problems inserting pictures in 2007 than in earlier versions. In Office button | Word options | Advanced | Cut, copy and paste, you can define in what way a picture is inserted as per default. Set your preferred state there, and tell us if it helps.
