Managing Pictures in MS Word 2003

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to develop a 90-page document, mostly text, with several footnotes, and with several interspersed pictures. My problem is that even though I have tried every combination of wrapping and positioning I can and have used the HELP function to the point of severe frustration, yet the pictures will NOT stay "nailed down." I know there are many functions provided for this function, but each time I get the photos, captions, and text boxes in the locations I want, the next modification to the body of the text or when another photo is inserted, most of the previously positioned items mentioned "fly away" to locations of their own chosing within the manuscript. Captions move two or three pages away from their pictures, text boxes do the same. Pictures also move as many as two or three pages from their assigned places.

I have tried to use the "Move with Text" instruction, along with combinations of the other instructions, but nothing I can come up with really "fixes" the photos, captions, and text boxes to their proper places.

Can someone please give me some guidance so I can gain some control over this document?

Thanks.

Tom Williams.

Try LaTex instead ;)

Don't know, would be interesting to learn this trick as well. I normally resort to adding pics in the text (I mean not floating) and keeping the captions together with pictures by ... don't have office here, so forgive me if I write something wrong now ... ticking "keep with next" in the paragraph format menu. This whilst selecting both pic and caption. Although this appears to work, it severly limits formating options (no wrapping of text e.g.)
