Re: Word XP Graphics Page Margins
Hello All,Aliza,
I was hoping someone could help me with a Word problem. This is the first
user manual I have had to create in Word 2002 and I am the finding the
process to be quite a hair-pulling experience. Basically, I have
screenshots positioned in my document set to be Text-Wrapped: Top & Bottom (with distance from text 0.1”/0.3” plus lock anchor and move object with text). All my graphics are anchored above or below paragraphs. The problem: on pages where an anchored paragraph is close to the upper or lower page margin the graphic spills over on to the header or footer area and runs off the page. I can manually fix each graphic to move to the next page, but the problem reoccurs every time the document is opened on a new computer with different printer settings.
Is there something wrong with my graphic settings or page setup? Any
suggestions on what I could do differently? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
You're doing it the way MS wants you to do it, so it must be wrong (hell it's Saturday!).
From your description of text wrapping above and below, etc... it souds like my method might be usable. I have a paragraph style called image. Its a text style, so it sits on the page just the way I want it to: indent left and right, etc. Paragraph after happens to be a Caption paragraph in my case. The font size doesn't matter, but set the spacing to Single line.
When I want an image I put in an Image paragraph, then Menu > Insert > Picture > From file... and there it is. As a paragraph it doesn't run into the header, as a 'single line' it can't be split over two pages. If the text around it needs moving I take the image paragraph too. No anchors to argue with.
HTH,
Ant
