In Word 2007 when I have Spacing Before set (eg to 18), I type half a line of
text, then insert a small picture onto the line, then carry on typing the
rest of the line.
If this is at the top of the document - no problem.
If I do this at the top of any other page, the picture does not align
correctly. The picture appears slightly lower on the line, and also the
bottom of the picture gets cropped by the text on the following line.
There is no problem if an Enter character precedes the line (that has the
picture on it).
The problem only occurs at the top of a new page, but the problem does not
occur on the FIRST page of the document.
The problem does not occur if Spacing Before is NOT set for the paragraph.
The fault is easily re-produced by doing the following:
(Open an existing Word 2007 document; ensure Spacing Before is set, eg to
18, for the paragraphs; put the cursor half-way along the fist line on the
first page of the document, and Insert | Picture | select a small jpg file
(or resize the picture so it is only a few centimetres wide). No problem.
Now, go to the top of the 2nd page, and insert a picture the same as above
(half-way along the first line of text).
Note how the picture gets cropped at the bottom. It gets cropped, because
the picture placement is lower on the line, and extends onto the 2nd line.
Is this poor alignment a bug?
If you press the Enter key at the start of the first line on this page, the
picture aligns itself correctly.
Hmmmmmmmm.
