Text overlaps some images in Word 2007

[Timmy21117]

I have been successfully inserting images in Word 2007 for years.

Today, some (not all) of the images will not text-wrap correctly. Th
text that starts above the image location will appear in front of th
image, if the wrap is set to anything except for "In Line". The tex
that starts where the image is will wrap correctly. If the wrap i
changed to In Line and then back to Square _sometimes_ the text wil
_display_ correctly but when printed, will print over the image. Th
next time the document is opened, (even on a different computer) th
text overlaps the image

When anything is done to the image while it is in Word, such as addin
text or shapes to it, the problem will then appear on that image
When text or shapes are added, I then "group" image and the shape an
text so they can be moved as a unit. Otherwise, moving the image o
adding text will result in the shape remaining in the same location o
the page while the image moves to another location

A work-around is to copy the image into Paint, and then copy it bac
into Word. Then wrap then works as it should...for now at least.

BTW, a "grouped" image with shapes will not completely copy into Paint
Not all of the text in the single text box copies over. :-(

What to do about the wrapping

Did you try quitting and reopening Word? Maybe it just woke up on the
wrong side of the bed.

For the paragraph containing the in-line image try setting your paragraph spacing before and after to 0.

If this happens with a particular document, only, it might be corrupt.

Have you tried copying the content, minus the final paragraph mark (¶), into
a new document? (To show/hide paragraph marks as well as other nonprinting
marks, click the ¶ button on the Home tab.)

I think opening the document on a different computer is the same a
quitting and re-opening Word. But, yes that was my first try. Sorry
did not make it more clear
