Hi Dian--
thanks for the reply. To be more specific, I am using a screen capture
utility (techSmith Snagit version 7.0.3) to take screen "shots" of our
electronic health care reporting system, using the 'capturing a region to
Clipboard' setting, then pasting into a document as part of an instruction
manual. Recently the reporting system changed, and the previous screen
shots became outdated. Rather than go through the work of creating more test
patients to capture from, I covered up the outdated areas with new snapshots,
ending up with multiple layers of pasted images. Of course, when you try to
move them, they come apart and need re-aligning.
Good news--under the Tools/Options/Edit Tab I found and changed the
Insert/Paste Picture as: to "top and bottom" and now I can group them
without problem. (I think the previous setting was at "In line with text".
Question: Can I make this change apply to an entire document by selecting
the whole thing and then right clicking to apply the Grouping setting? Or do
I need to go through it, screen shot by screen shot?
thanks for your help
-k.
