Re: Placing picture and text

Thanks Graham. I have tried that and I can't select anything in format -
layout with that picture. I have started a new doc and inserted the pic as
you said and I can change the different layout options on it so there must
just be something blocking this action on this page layout that I have to
use.

Forget text boxes!
Insert the image on the page. It sounds as though you have your default
image insertion to be 'in-line'. Either change that in tools > options
(word options for Word 2007) or right click and change the layout
properties.

Thanks for suggestions but unfortunately I couldn't get them to work.

When I select the picture and go to format picture I can't select any
of the options. The option to bring to the front wasn't available
either.
I couldn't seem to be able to insert a text box within a text box. I
then tried inserting a text box into a new doc and copy and pasted
into the old doc but it does the same thing.

The graphic just wants to take over the line space between the text.

GRAPHIC

The layout is two text columns with borders around them and the
graphic to be place within this text box or column.

The clip art I have been given to use is a simple clipart graphic
which I think may have been converted to jpg format, would this
matter? Maybe there's some other formatting taking over on this
document which as I mentioned was created by someone else.

Thank you anyway

B.W.

You need to insert the graphic then select it - right click > format
picture
layout, and set the wrap to anything other than in-line with text
(if you
want it to wrap, use 'square' otherwise 'in front of text' is
probably the best bet. You can then drag it to wherever you want. It
shouldn't matter whether the text is in a text box or not, however
if it is in a filled text box, the graphic may be obscured by the
fill. In this case right click the graphic and select Order > Bring
to front. --

I am having trouble placing a graphic to the right side of text. I
have read the Help and MS explanation but it doesn't seem to work. I am
working with a template created by someone else so I'm not
sure if the text is within a
text box or not, how do I tell this, it also has a border around it.
Would this
make a difference anyway?

All I have is three lines of text to the left of a column with a
line space between each, like so.

I want to place a small clipart which is a jpg to the right of this
text which would be aligned to the right of the column so that the
bottom of it lines up with the bottom of the text. When I go into
format picture layout none of the five options is what I want and
the Advanced is greyed out here. What am I doing wrong? Help
appreciated B.W.
