Hello All,
I was hoping someone could help me with a Word problem. This is the first
user manual I have had to create in Word 2002 and I am the finding the
process to be quite a hair-pulling experience. Basically, I have
screenshots positioned in my document set to be Text-Wrapped: Top & Bottom
(with distance from text 0.1?/0.3? plus lock anchor and move object with
text). All my graphics are anchored above or below paragraphs. The
problem: on pages where an anchored paragraph is close to the upper or
lower page margin the graphic spills over on to the header or footer area
and runs off the page. I can manually fix each graphic to move to the next
page, but the problem reoccurs every time the document is opened on a new
computer with different printer settings.
Is there something wrong with my graphic settings or page setup? Any
suggestions on what I could do differently? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
