Word 2002 image placement technique needed
Word is a pretty capable page layout tool, but I can't seem to get it
to do the following satisfactorily. I want to insert a large figure in the middle of accompanying text. I want Word to move the figure to the next page if it won't fit on the current page, yet I want the text to continue to flow independent of the placement of the image. It's kinda like a footnote in a way, but I've not had any success with that (if the image is bumped to the next page, the line with the footnote reference is also bumped, defeating the purpose). So I want the text to run continuously, while allowing the image to appear unbroken at the next opportunity. I want to avoid a helf empty page because of a large image. Thanks tbone |

Well, that's the other big disadvantage of Word's shape handling (see also the thread "Pictures (right/left align) cut off after being anchored to paragr": you want a floating picture, and such a thingy must be anchored to a paragraph. And that paragraph needs to be on the same page. No workaround I'm aware of (at least none that survives a reflow).

Word 2002 image placement technique needed
Word isn't a page layout tool at all. There is little concept of page in the
application. You are probably not going to be able to achieve exactly what you want, but it would be possible to ensure that the picture is always on the same page as the text and have the text flow around it. Open the header view and insert the image on the page. Set its layout property to wrap the text as required. Position and size the image on the page. It will always be in that position later. With the image selected, press ALT+F3 save the Autotext with a suitable name. Delete the image. Find the text you wish it to accompany and bookmark it. In the header add the following field construction { If { PAGE } = { PAGEREF Bookmarkname } Insert the autotext here } This will display the picture on the page that contains the text, with the text on that page wrapped around it. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org tbone wrote: Word is a pretty capable page layout tool, but I can't seem to get it to do the following satisfactorily.
