Removing image only visible in reading layout
I have a Word 2003 document where an image is visible in reading layout but
in no other views. It appears to be in the header. I want to remove it; however, this is not possible as I cannot select the image in reading view. Any suggestions? |

Removing image only visible in reading layout
If you view your document in the print layout and doubleclick the header you
should be able to selct the picture and delete it. "Thorbjorn" wrote: I have a Word 2003 document where an image is visible in reading layout but in no other views. It appears to be in the header.

Removing image only visible in reading layout
This happens sometimes when an image has been inadvertently dragged off the
page. I'm trying to determine whether any simple removal method has been devised. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Thorbjorn" wrote in message ...

Removing image only visible in reading layout
It has been suggested that you may be able to view and remove the picture in
Web Layout view, but if it's really in the header, then that wouldn't work, I suppose. -- Suzanne S.

Removing image only visible in reading layout
Okay, I'm back with what may actually be help. Fellow MVPs have provided two
macros that have been known to help in similar instances. Either is worth a try. I have no VBA expertise, but my reading of the macros suggests that they are intended to make the image(s) visible (so you can see and delete them) rather than to remove them. Macro 1: Sub RevealHiddenPicture() Dim shp As Word.Shape For Each shp In ActiveDocument.Shapes If shp.Left 0 And shp.Top 0 Then shp.Top = 50 shp.Left = 50 End If Next End Sub Macro 2: Sub RevealHiddenPicture() Dim shp As Word.Shape Dim i As Long i = 10 For Each shp In ActiveDocument.Shapes shp.Top = i shp.Left = i i = i + 5 Next End Sub If you don't know what to do with them, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Suzanne S.

Removing image only visible in reading layout
Well, I'm back again. I've been told that the macros I supplied before won't
work if the image is not in the main document body. sigh This one will work if you place the insertion point in the header (or any other "story," such as footnotes) before running it: Sub MoveShapesInStory() Dim shp As Word.Shape Dim rng As Word.Range Set rng = Selection.Range rng.WholeStory For Each shp In rng.ShapeRange If shp.Left 0 And shp.Top 0 Then shp.Top = 50 shp.Left = 50 End If Next End Sub -- Suzanne S.
