Graphics

[Dana W. Ciardi]

I am having a terrible time with graphics in Word 2003. I have a table of 3
columns and 5 rows and am placing a heading and a graphic in each. I place
the graphic, then format to tight and center. As soon as I make any change
to the graphic (move it up/down), it goes off center and I have to go back
into "format picture" and click "center" again. Isn't there any way to get
a graphic to maintain the setting until you change it to something else???

Then - if I get the heading in - and the graphic in - and go in to change
the setting of the graphic to "behind text" (so the heading will display on
top of the graphic) - I can no longer click the graphic and re-position it!

Does anyone have the name of a GOOD book, reference, on-line tutorial giving
detailed instructions regarding what all the settings do for graphics - and
how to manipulate graphics?

Thanks!

Dana

Welcome to the hell of Word with graphics inserted.
If anyone idd knows of a book that explains Word's behaviour, please
post, but as far as I know, its just Word's built in features (=bugs)
and the best advise is probably to not use Word for this kind of thing
but Adobe Pagemaker or CorelDraw or something like that.

THANK YOU!!!!

At least I know it's not ME!

Guess I'll go back to WP for graphics. Never had a problem with it.
