MSWord Placeholders Bug; replaced pics don't retain position

[za105]

Hello All,

A very frustrating glitch, that I've been fiddling with all week and still
am at a stand-still for fixing, is getting in the way of continuing work on
an organization chart. It is:
Any time I try to "Change Picture" from the dropdown box of one of the
pictures, the new picture shifts downwards just a little bit. I cannot get
replaced pictures to stay where the last picture was!

I've attached one of the chart documents and one of the photos that I'll
need to switch out. Take a look at the document, if you could, and try
replacing one of pictures at the top of the page with the attached picture.
Expect the picture to resize a bit, but that's easily fixed. What's NOT is
that the actual placeholder has moved! Look at the bottom of the picture:
It's a couple pixels lower than the others.

How do I move it back up to be in sync with the other photos? Or better yet,
how do I keep it from moving at all?? I'm at the end of my wits.

Btw, I'm on Word 2008 for Mac.

Hi Zal,

You may want to also post this in the Word:mac discussion group using the
link below.
When I tried this in Word 2007 I didn't get a misalignment when replacing
the photo of Sue Daugherty with the one you provided. To resize I did
unlock the 'preserve aspect ratio' selection, as it was the only way to
match the height with that of the other photos in that row when using the
'Size' choice.
