How to make ink pen markings stick with the text when it moves? John 11/23/2008 10:11:01 PM I have a tablet and like to review my documents with the pen in Word. I will circle words or sections and write comments in the margin and even directly on the text.. The problems is when I add or remove lines above the marked section, the pen markings and the text move independently and I lose the context of my changes or remarks. Anyone know how I can make the pen markings stick with the text they were written on when I move that text around? Or do you know that it can't be done? This, of course. would make Word much less valuable on a tablet. Thanks for your help!

It can be set to "Move with text" or to be static in relation to the page. In a quick test I just made, "Move with text" is the default, but that could change if you start dragging the markup around, I suppose... You can access the "Move with text" option through the standard graphics formatting dialog box.(You don't mention the version of Word, so I can't give you exact steps how to get there, but the right-click menu is usually good.) Go to the Layout tab and click "Advanced".

Re: How to make ink pen markings stick with the text when it moves John 12/16/2008 4:30:16 PM Thanks for the help, Cindy. I tried it out and you are correct - the default behavior is that the ink moves with the text. I tried erasures, edits and a move of a sub-block in the pen comments and the default behavior seemed to be maintained - the pen written comments tracked with the text. I'm not sure what I did to lose the desired default behavior but it has happened more than once. I'm working in Word 2007. Thinking that I'm likely to run into this again I tried a right click on the pen comments graphic. No move with text' option is offered in 2007, just Order, Grouping, Format Ink, etc. ; and nothing I could identify in the Format Ink property sheet. Neither the Page Layout tab nor the Pen tab (which appears when the pen comment is selected) have an 'Advanced' option or a 'Move with text' choice and I can't identify any equivalent. Do you have any idea where the 'Move with text' option might be in Word 2007? Or if it has been dropped in the upgrade?
