Re: import picture in unprotected section doesn't work properly

Hi Gordon,
thank you for this reply, because now I know I don't have to look any
further.

BTW, a colleague of mine came up with a clever workaround.
He made a new doc. Imported the picture. Changed the wrapping style.
Then copy-pasted it into the protected doc.
So I guess that's almost as simple as Pam's advice.

BTW, I'm very interested in learning what the reason behind this
limitation is.
I find Word often amazes me in a negative way - because time and again
I bump into some invisible wall:
something can't be done, or sometimes something strange happens - with
apparently no reason at all. And I feel there's probably a Superior
Greater Logic behind it all, but I never find out.
So please, enlighten me!

:)
Tnx sofar,

Jenny

Jenny,

I'm afraid you don't have much choice but to unprotect the document if you
need to edit an image. This is a known limitation ofprotecteddocuments,
and while it seems ridiculous, there are very good reasons behind it. I'd be
happy to explain if you're interested, but it won't change the fact that you
can't edit the image.

However, Pam's recommendations may help to make editing the image
unnecessary.

Here's my problem:

I've got 2 sections.
Section 1 isprotected, section 2 is not.
Now, Iimporta picture in section 2.

What happens is, the picture is there alright, but it's barely
visible.
This is because apparently the default wrapping style seems to be 'In
line with text'.
I CAN'T EDIT the image to change that setting, because it's not
possible in anprotecteddoc.
It really doesn't make sense, since this is an UNprotected section!!

Anybody a workable solution? (I don't want to UNprotect the document
first!)

Tnx,
Jenny
