TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I missed the original question on this, but here's my two cents (I have Word 97):
Insert, Picture, From File. Now the picture is in my document. To allow me to choose the "Float over text" option, I must first double click on the picture, opening it up. I don't do anything in there -- just open and close. Now, a right click on the picture offers a new menu item; proceed as follows: Picture Object, Convert, click the "Float over text" check box.
All set! Please pardon my less-than-perfect instructions, and feel free to email me for a better explanation.
Hope this helps,
Amy :)
