In particular, I want the image to be inserted in the middle of the page so that text flows around on both sides of the image. Any advice?     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           Jay Freedman 11/20/2006 7:30 AM PST   Answer   Graphics in Word have various "text wrapping" settings, which you can choose from the Picture toolbar when the graphic is selected. Choose either the Square or the Tight wrapping (for a rectangular picture these are equivalent). Then drag the picture to the location you want, which can straddle the column separation. To be more exact in placement, select Format > Picture > Layout > Advanced and set the horizontal alignment (and maybe the vertical alignment as well) to Centered relative to Page. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
