Moving picture to desired place on screen
Musawwir Spiegel
move to a chosen place, I would insert a frame on it and I could drag
it around to the desired destination.
I cannot figure how to do that with Word 2002. I want to be able to
do this not only for documents that will be printed with Word, but
also on documents that I will save as web pages.
How do I do it?

You no longer have an Insert | Frame command on your Insert menu, because Microsoft decided none of us needed it any more! But you
an get it back.
Tools | Customize. Open up the Forms toolbar. The icon with the pale blue splodge is the Insert Frame command. Drag it to your
Insert Menu.
Then it will operate just as it did in 95.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your response. I have the insert frame command on the
Forms toolbar, but I don't understand how to place it on the insert
menu. In Word 95, Tools/Customize included customizing menus, but in
Word 2002 it isn't there.
By the way, why would Microsoft omit the insert frames command. Is
there another way to move an inserted graphic around on the screen?

In Word 2002, to get the Insert Frame command onto your Insert menu, do this.
1. Tools | Customize. Click the Toolbars tab.
2. In the list of toolbars, click on Forms.
3. The 7th icon, that looks like some text wrapping around a pale blue picture, is the one you want.
4. Hold down control, click on that icon, and drag it to your Insert menu. First, point to the word "Insert" on the menu. Then, when
the menu pops up, choose where you would like it to appear.
5. Close the Forms toolbar by clicking on the X on the top right of that toolbar.

There are many mysteries of life. This is only one of them. Who knows? I hear on these newsgroups that MS thought that textboxes
would replace frames. But there are things that Frames do that TextBoxes can't do, so I, for one, still need them.
Hope this helps.

(it will default to upper left) then right click on the
image and pick format picture. Click on the Layout tab and
pick any wrapping but the default (inline) then you can
move your picture anywhere you want easily (the other
wrapping is self explanatory). This also makes working
with text boxes MUCH easier. (I think this is why they
thought frames were unnecessary).

Thank you for your response. It certainly simplified things.
However, it left me a bit puzzled.
I experimented with what you said and it worked fine. However, I also
took a document in which I had inserted a frame around a graphic for
purposes of moving the graphic around. I found myself unable to
remove the frame. If I selected it, right clicking brought up a
context menu that included formatting the graphic, but not doing
anything to the frame. If I selected the frame and hit the delete
key, the entire combination of graphic and frame disappeared.
I looked up deleting frames in Word 2002 Inside Out, p. 567. It spoke
of using the Frames toolbar. However, when I selected the frame, the
delete frame icon was grayed. Looking at the book, it sounded like
the frames it dealt with were the kind of frames used on web pages.
So is the kind of frame you put around a graphic a different animal?
In any event, you showed me that I don't need to use frames for being
able to place graphics where I want them.

Unfortunately, when you insert a graphic in a frame, you can no longer
select the frame, only the graphic. To get around this, select the graphic
and press the Right Arrow button, then Spacebar or Enter. You should now be
able to right-click the frame itself, choose Format Frame, then Remove
Frame.
