Re: Inserting a picture

You're welcome. We do tend to forget about cell margins as long as we're
dealing with text; the pictures show them up very clearly though.

In Table Properties, go to the Cell tab and click Options. Set all the
cell
margins to 0". Also make sure that the paragraph formatting in the cell
doesn't include any Space Before/After or indents.

I am having trouble iinserting a picture into my Word 2003 document. I
scanned the picture as a jpg. My document contains a precisely-sized
two-cell table which when cut out becomes folding insert for thin CD
cases
when I make copies of my music CDs to take in our cars. One cell shows
through as the "cover" and the second, when folded back, can hold any
desired text information about the recording. This works perfectly
when
everything is text. But I want to insert a picture in one of those
cells,
in this case, an image of the actual CD cover, but it could be any
picture.
I can insert the jpg image into the cell and I get an unwanted white
margin
around the picture. The image is slightly off-center, regardless of
how
I
set the Cell Alignment. Changing the size (Format Picture, Size) bumps
up
the image size but it shifts off-center and still leaves an unwanted
margin.
I can fudge the problem by shading the cell black and getting a black
margin. I could live with that if I had to, but is there a good way of
moving the image exactly where I want it in the cell (probably centered
exactly) so there is no margin?
