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

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

All images in a doc are contained within bounding boxes which are visible
when the image is selected. It's possible that any given image may contain
what appears to be blank space on one or more sides. However, the blank
space is actually composed of white pixels which simply seem to be invisible
since they're displayed against a white backdrop. When the image is selected
the bounding box will border the entire image including the "dead space".
Perhaps that's what you're dealing with, but I don't see how that could be
cutting off the bottom.

If so, however, you can use the Crop tool to reduce or increase the height
and width of the boundary without changing the height, width or proportion
of the image. That may correct the positioning... Although the more typical
effect is for the line spacing to have been altered rather than causing
baseline of the image to be shifted below the baseline of the text. And if
the line spacing is set to "Exactly" something less than required the top of
the image would be cut off.

I haven't seen a graphic get cropped at the bottom as you describe - nor can
I force it to occur. Are you sure the image wasn't actually cropped at the
bottom? Use the Crop tool to drag the bottom-center handle down a little to
see if the "missing portion" is revealed.

What happens if you move the image to another position away from the top or
change the text wrapping - does the rest of the image show up? Is the image
in a text box? What more descriptive information can you supply about the
structure & formatting being used?

Thanks for your response. It's good to know it's not the green handle itself
- that seemed too sloppy for Microsoft. I definitely have inline images that
are the same or SHORTER than my text, but are printing below the spot where
they are placed. Is there a boundary for an image object that is larger than
the visible boundary? Or is there some other clever fix?

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.
