Editing Document with Pictures

[Oreally]

I have a multi-page document with photos on each page. The photos are NOT in
text boxes. I'd like to copy a single page but I can't figure out how. It's
not like you can run your cursor over the page and copy. Nor is there a copy
option available in the edit menu.

Let me know if there is a way to do this

Thanks,

Oreally

If the photos are inline, they will be selected along with the text. If
they're wrapped, they're anchored to the text, and selecting the text will
select them as well. Select all the text, copy, paste, and see what happens.

There is no text.....if I "select all" it just copies all pages

Why can't you 'run your cursor over the page'? that's the simplest way to
select a page and then use Ctrl+C to copy to the Office Clipboard. Why can't
you do that?

The photos are set for 'behind text'.....they are quite high resolution,
therefore big files. When I put the cursor on a specific page it can only
copy individual pictures. If I run the cursor across the entire page I get
no copy option in the edit menu or right click menu.

Regardless of what wrapping style is applied, they must be anchored to at
least one text paragraph on the page. Display nonprinting characters so that
you can see the paragraph marks and select those. But why are the photos set
to Behind Text if there's no text on the page?

 

[Terry Farrell]

Precisely. If there's no text, why are they 'behind text'? Self
flagellation!

That's my default setting...makes it easier to move pictures around

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Easier than, say, Square?

Have the cursor somewhere on the page you wish to select/copy.
Ctrl+G to open the GoTo dialog, type in \page, OK.
This will select the whole page you are on, this hopefully will include the
image behind the text.
Hope this helps

You have been given the answer. The photos on that page MUST BE anchored to
a text paragraph on that page. Display nonprinting characters so that you
can see the paragraph mark for that paragraph. Select that paragraph mark
and copy; the anchored pictures will be copied as well.

I did try it before telling you about \page.
I did \page, then Ctrl+C, then to a new document, Ctrl+V, voila!
