    MS Word insert image problem
    « on: December 11, 2008, 04:06:07 PM »
    Newbie here, forgive me if I'm in the wrong forum.

    I normally work on a Mac, but from time to time, we have to create Word templates for our clients and use the PC to create them. So I know my way around a bit in Word, but not all that well.

    My problem is inserting an image.

    We created a template for our client, two columns of greeked copy, pretty simple. When I try to insert an image, it does not show up. I can randomly click around the layout and eventually find the image, and then change the formatting to where it is behind the type. Very frustrating.

    Is there a way to set up the document to where when it inserts an image, it will be in front or behind the type, instead of inline with the type?

    Does that make any sense?

    What version of Word?  Exactly what technique/procedure are you using to insert the image?  What type of image is it?

    How did you create the columns in the template?

          Just read that you can not have your paragraph spacing set EXACTLY to an amount. I tried that and it pretty much works. The image appears instantly, but is still set to be inline with the copy.

          It would be nice if there was a way to change the preference and have them insert behind the copy. Or would that only be possible in the Mac version?

          Thanks!

          For those of us who are Word users but don't normally work with some of the features you're using, can you refresh our memory by explaining the "inline with the copy" and "insert behind the copy" techniques?  What visual effect are you trying to accomplish here?  And, again, what version of Word are you using?

            Right-Click on the image, select Format Picture.

            The options you seek are under the layout tab, I believe.
