Using Word like PUblisher for laying out images
I am laying out images for an appendix to a dissertation. For the black and
white figures, I am using Word, because I want to automate the captions (Fig. 1 etc.). For colour plates, I am using Publisher (which I love) and this works well, because conventionally they are referred to by plate number and then a sub-letter (pl. 1a). I can easily automate the plate numbers, because they are the page numbers of the PUblisher doc. For figures, the images are usually referred to as individual figures rather than as a page and then sub-letter (Fig. 1 as opposed to Fig. 1a). Thus, this is why I have decided to use Word, where I can have captions automate this labelling of the figures. Frustratingly, however, I find that when I insert images they jump about, and quite often ruin the layout that had already been established before I inserted an extra photo or drawing. This can mess up the captions too. Is there any way of using Word in a manner more like Publisher? I.e. so that images can be inserted onto black pages and 'stick' where you put them? This is very frustrating. OR is there any way of getting some kind of caption function in Publisher? |

Using Word like PUblisher for laying out images
Pictures jump around in Word because of the layout settings: select one,
right-click, select properties, and experiment with the settings on the Layout tab. In particular, the Wrapping and Allow Overlap checkboxes. "Cathie" wrote in message ...
