graphics in Text Boxes

[John Mitchell]

I have just moved from Word X to Word 2004. In X, I could make a
textbox and have text wrap around it. I could then go into the text
box, type a figure caption and paste some graphics above this figure
caption. No problem. Now, in Word 2004, when I try the same
activity, I get either nothing or just a small fragment of the graphic
in the text box. Is there a work-around for this, or is this just a
bug and i need to find a different way to do this? I quite like the
text box approach from X.

Thanks,

John Mitchell

It works fine here. The problem in your case is probably that the
paragraph you're pasting the graphic into has an exact line spacing. Set
its line space to an "at least" value so that it is free to expand and
reveal the whole graphic. m.

That worked like a charm. Thanks for your help, Matt.
