Floating Graphic alignment
sillslv <sillslv.396fffe[ at ]wordbanter.com> 12/23/2008 4:31:25 PM
I'm new to Word 2007, so please forgive an elementary question. I am unable to precisely place a graphic - it always snaps to what appears to be a default position. The grid is turned off. The snap to Grid or Other objects is turned off. No text is entered. Text wrapping is "in front of text." I've tried with/without the drawing canvas. It appears that only default alignment positions are allowed - I don't want a general Top or Middle, etc alignment, just want to place the graphic exactly where I need it.

Thanks for any help. -- sillslv

Pressing Alt will override any grid or "snap" that may still be in effect,
but you can also define a precise position for a graphic using Layout |
Advanced. In addition to the Top, Bottom, etc., you can specify distances
relative to the page, margin, paragraph, etc.
