Image Formatting & Text Anchoring??
There are a couple more features of graphic positioning you need to learn
about. 1. Go to Tools Options and check the 'Object anchors' checkbox. Now select any of your pics. You'll see a little anchor in the left margin. This indicates the paragraph that the graphic is anchored to. Every graphic is anchored to a paragraph -- and if you delete the paragraph, you delete the graphic also. By default it's the closest paragraph; but you can drag the anchor to choose which paragraph you want to use as anchor; and on the layout Picture Position tab you can lock the anchor. The graphic is always on the same page as the anchor paragraph. 2. On the Picture Position tab, experiment with the other positioning settings. The default is relative to the start of the anchor paragraph, but amongst other options you can set an absolute position on the page. You can also clear the 'Move object with text' checkbox: in this case the graphic stays put even if the anchor paragraph moves. "Steve" wrote in message ... Hi... I could use some help... I've a tutorial document; 106 pages but shouldn't matter except to show level of my frustration. This document has 100-150 "screen shot" graphics and I want the text to flow around the text. For each graphic, I've clicked FORMAT PICTURE / LAYOUT / ADVANCED / TEXT WRAPPING style as SQUARE and all margins are set to 0.125. Then I move (mouse or arrows) the graphic to where I want... however, as I move further into the document, the graphics start to have a mind of their own. 1. This problem I can see immediately... when I move a picture towards the top of a page... it "jumps" into the header. I can move the pic down to line 4 or 5... and use the arrows to get NEAR the first line but not TO the first line. This doesn't happen in the first 20-30 pages... then once out of every five attempts after. Annoying but liveable. 2. This problem is highly-aggravating... happens when adding/deleting text/pics BEFORE an established pic... again, as I get deeper into the document. When I make a "several line change" (adding usually but also deleting) or insert a new graphic... the next few graphics start running amuck... they end up in the margins... or in the footer... or overlaying one another. Usually it's graphics on the current or next page... once in a while even 2-3 pages down. Can anyone shed any light on what I'm doing wrong?? Thanks in advance, Steve |
