My inline graphics are floating

[Louise]

My computer died at work. All software needed to be reloaded (MS 2002
Professional and MS Office). My Word documents were saved to a network drive.
I'm using Word 2002. Now, all my Word documents that have graphics that I
have designated as "inline with text" are now floating.

I had the tech change the video card and he even added memory...but no
change. If I click on the object I get the placeholders in the correct
location but the graphic itself floats up several lines in an "over text"
mode...thus preventing me from reading the text around the graphic.

I've also played around with several options in various combinations:
drawing, placeholders and bookmarks. Still no luck. I seem to remember having
this issue before and there was a simple solution...but I'm at a loss right
now.

You probably need to change the Text Wrapping back to InLine with Text for
each image. (Format>Picture - Layout, or use the Picture Toolbar.)

I tried that too. The document graphics still continue to float.

This is the same version of Word in which the documents were originally created?

And you see the same behavior in new documents, as well?

If you hold down CTRL when starting Word, to go into Safe Mode, do you still see
the problem in a new document?
