Wrapping around images in Headers
I have an interesting problem with text wrapping in a document header.
In my header I have an image (our logo) in the top right of the page. On the left I have 3 lines of text. Document Title, Path and Date. The image has been inserted with the cursor at the end of the second line. Text wrapping properties for the image are set as tight. Poistion and size are set specifically. However, tf the text - most commonly the file path - extends up to the image, it disappears behind it, rather than wrapping. Even more amusingly, if the image is dragged down to the main document area, then the text wraps around the image. The image is still definately in the header. Any suggestions? |

I can reproduce the problem, though I don't know why it happens. I can also
confim that it doesn't occur in the main text. This is in Word 2003; I haven't had a chance to test in 2007. To work around it, you can select the three lines of text and click the Frame button on the Forms toolbar. Drag the right edge of the frame so it abuts the logo. Then right-click the edge of the frame, choose Borders & Shading, and select None. Right-click again, choose Format Frame, and set its wrapping to None. If the reason you chose Tight wrapping for the logo was to have the text conform to the shape of the image, you'll lose that, since the frame can only be a rectangle. The effect will be the same as if you chose Square wrapping. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Thanks for the confirmation.
Framing the text doesn't really solve the problem as this particular template needs to be rotatable between Portrait and Landscape - which of course varies the amount of white space availible for the lines to spread into. Framing the text locks the amount of flow space I have Any other options? "Jay Freedman" wrote: I can reproduce the problem, though I don't know why it happens.

I guess there might be two other options. One is to prepare two templates,
one for portrait and the other for landscape, if you know in advance which orientation a particular document should use. The other is a macro in the template to change the orientation and also resize the frame. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
