Insert Object Disable Float-Over-Text WD2K

[SierraTech]

In Word 97 I could Objects and uncheck "Float-Over-Text" to anchor object to
a paragraph. In Word 2000, I cannot find how to do this.

Was this option removed?

I need help, since I have an object that keeps jumping locations when I
tried to add caption or move it.

The is nolonger an option you can uncheck called "Float over Text".
Now there is a wrapping style you can select called "In line with text"

Follow these steps to modify the wrapping style.

1. Right click the floating graphic, choose Format Picture
2. Click on the LAYOUT tab
3. Choose IN LINE WITH TEXT, click on OK

Unlike WordPerfect you cannot anchor graphics to a paragraph.

Hey Stuart!

Thank you for the tip! That worked.....I guess Microsoft thought
"Float-Over-Text" was too intuitive (or too much like WordPerfect's ease of
use), so they changed the rules again.

It's difficult to keep ahead of their changes (i.e. Word 97 eliminated the
simple tool that allowed table cells to only be numbered once, which was
great for test procedures, now Word 2000 changes the rules, just because
"Float-Over-Text" could have been used behind text too).

Thanks again!

Hi Bob,

FWIW they changed the float-over-text term because too many folks
found it confusing, and made inline the default again, as it
was before Word97. There are still the same number of layers
in a Word document as before for text and graphics and you
can still put a graphic in front of or behind the text in
each. The wrapping 'term' isn't, to me, really an improvement
either, but there were redesigns done to accomodate the
round trip capability to use with web documents.

There are still problems in not being able to access things
unless you know what layer they happen to be in and how that
layer behaves, so still some room for improvement :) (aka
will ya buy the new version if it... <g>)
