Re: In-line picture clipped at top of page in Word 2007

Although I can understand how it gives that impression the rotation handle
isn't the problem. It's a non-printing element that doesn't actually take up
any space in the document & only appears for display accessibility when the
object is selected. It has to appear within the boundaries of the "page"
because the background area isn't an active part of the window's
workspace... In fact, if you change both your Page margin and your Header
margin to zero you'll find that the top edge of the image can coincide with
the top edge of the page so that neither the rotation handle nor its
connecting arm are even visible - Whether your printer can handle that is a
different matter altogether :-)

In Line images are just like any other "character" - they aren't allowed to
extend beyond the margin - top, bottom, left or right. Likewise, none of the
text content - including the In Line image embedded in it - can overprint
the Header (or Footer) if there's any content there. Other factors (such as
Space Before, Line Spacing, Raised/Lowered text...) also have an influence.

In Word 2007, in a docx file, both in-line and floating pictures have a green
³rotation handle² on top of the picture. When an in-line picture falls at the
top of a page, Word positions the picture so that the rotation handle, and
not the top of the picture, touches the top margin. As a result, the picture
is shifted down slightly and the bottom of the picture is clipped off.

This problem does not occur when a doc file (Word 2003 document) is edited
in Word 2007 because in the compatibility mode, in-line pictures do not have
a rotation handle.

Have other people observed this problem in a docx file? Is there any way to
avoid it? Thank you.
