How to Relocate Image on Page?

[sgmorr]

I have an image (to be used as a logo) made in MS Word with a
combination of text and drawing or painting. It is a 3" x 5" oval that
is to be used for a decal. It is in the center of the page and I would
like to move it to the top to be able to print at least two of the
ovals per printer page. I cannot grab and move the entire image because
it breaks into separate pieces. I made it using two or three different
text boxes within an oval outline. Do I need to convert the image to a
different format? Can I do this? Any ideas? Thanks very much.

If that is all that is in the doc, select all, then use the Drawing
toolbar's Group command. You can then move it easily and paste in a
second copy.

Thanks CyberTaz. I think the problem is that I cannot seem to select
all of the logo. When I do "Select All," it only seems to select part
of the typing within the logo.

Reveal the Drawing toolbar, enable the Drawing cursor (WHITE arrow...) and
crag over the entire graphic. This will select all objects that are NOT in
the text layer.

Now use the Group command from the Drawing toolbar.

Personally, I would CUT them all at this point, then Insert>Object>Microsoft
Word Picture and paste them into that. That fixes the entire mess as a
single OLE object (a document within a document) so it will never fly apart
again

Hope this helps

This last statement is, of course, very appropriate and (from a
document maintenance standpoint) the most correct way to do this.
Unfortunately, if you are using Word in Office for Mac 2004, this
can potentially trash your ability to print out the logo in a way
that the text is readable (apparently due to bugs in the way that
Word and Apple's ATS for fonts interact).

Don't you hate it when tools actually PREVENT you from doing
things the right way?

This suggests to me that you actually typed text in the doc, then built
the graphic elements around it. If that is the case, you cannot group
Graphics & Text together.

Cut the text & paste it into a Text Box, size the box & position it
where it needs to be & change the text box properties to No Line & No
Fill. Then you can group the whole thing.
