Pictures in a Table - Darn, not better in Word 2007
I was looking forward to Word 2007 anticipating that it would handle the
insertion of pictures better in a table. I want to put a picture in a table so that it spans columns and rows and have it wrap the text in the cells around it. But, it still insists on inserting the picture in a cell, not across cells. Anyone have any ideas how I might get this functionality to work in Word 2007? Thanks! -- Steve |

In this instance, would it work to merge the cells in question? Or do you
need the text to remain in specific cells? -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
Yes, I need the text to remain in the cells and do the wrapping around a picture placed across several cells. Steve -- Steve "Suzanne S.

Sorry there's no good way to do that. I agree it would be helpful.

Pictures in a Table - Darn, not better in Word 2007
Text that would otherwise be behind the picture in cells.... is it your
desire to wedge the picture in the table, forcing the table to bulge out to the right and/or left in order that column widths are maintained? Or do you envision centering the picture across two partial colulmns thereby forcing text in each to wrap around the picture, maintaining the column placement but increasing the vertical width of the rows as required? I think each effect could certainly be simulated, but in the end the picture would occupy the space of one cell or group of merged cells. -- Y "sjschmidtky" wrote: I was looking forward to Word 2007 anticipating that it would handle the insertion of pictures better in a table.

I'm guess that "sjschmidtky" wants a Square or Tight wrap around the picture
such as he could get in ordinary text (newspaper-style columns, for example), which would be your second option. Yes, the row height would necessarily increase. Splitting and merging cells selectively could simulate a Square wrap but not a Tight one. -- Suzanne S.
