Grouping arrows to an image

[Margaret Upton]

I am trying to group a drawn arrow to a print screen graphic in Word 2007.
When I am writing instructions I press Print Screen, then paste into the
document, crop it down to the size I want, draw an arrow and group them
together. This now does not work in Word 2007. I have tried putting them
onto a drawing canvas and that does not work either. It is most frustrating
as I could always do this in previous versions. Could anyone help please.

Has the image got the "In Line with Text" picture attribute? Change this to
one of the other options, then you should be able to group the arrows with
it. Beware when you do the change the image may move and also be brought
Forward in order.
Hope this helps

Thank you for the suggestion, but have tried that and it makes no
difference. Have tried the drawing canvas, changing the wrap, using select
all and nothing makes any difference. Has anyone any more suggestions
please.

I'm sure it would be a major pain... but could you copy/paste your images
into something like Paint or Photoshop or PaintShopPro?

I'm sure you could achieve your goal... but would take many more steps.

Thanks for your reply, but I could do it in other programs, including Word
2003 which does it easily, thats not the point, I want to be able to get the
new version of Word to do it. When I am looking at the new things and
learning a new version I write instructions for myself with print screens
etc and when I found straight away the problem, I like to find a solution to
it. This to me is a major backstep not an improvement in this version and
wondered if anyone knew what to do. But thanks anyway. Perhaps someone
else has found a solution.
