Why jump figures (images) sometimes to another page in your Word document? This is one of the great secrets of Word and today, I will show the answer.
On the reason of this question go, it is important to understand the concept of anchoring. Covered in a previous post I, the difference between floating and inline figure. Each floating number in a Word document is actually attached to the page. This point of the attachment is referred to as the "anchor" and is indicated by a small anchor icon. To see this, you must enable the display of the icon by clicking on the file tab, and then click Options. In the display section, select the check box next to the object anchor. Now, if you select a floating figure, you see the anchor icon on the page displayed.
There are two important rules about the relationship between numbers and anchor:
Rule # 1: the anchor and the figure must be always on the same page.
Rule # 2: the anchor and the figure must be in the same place on the page.
By default, the anchor is placed at the beginning of next paragraph about the upper-left corner of the figure. If you moved also move the figure on the side of the anchor, using the same logic, to place the anchor. Word does this, because a figure close to certain text place usually means that there is a relationship between the two parts of the contents. It is also possible, select the anchor, and drag it to a new location on the page. For example, in the following document paragraph describes the data in the chart, however, the diagram looks better when I place it at the bottom of the page.
The anchor is considered, so that if you select the text where the figure is anchored, the figure is also selected, you see the relationship, to help characters. When you move or delete you the text in which the figure is anchored, the figure is also moved or deleted be. When adding text about the anchor position of the anchor are moves also, below on the page along with the rest of the text. When the anchor on the next page is moved the corresponding figure also jumps to the next page (see rule # 1 above). This can be especially confusing when the number of the anchor.
In many cases want you owed your text and figure, also if the jumping to another page. In other cases, can you force a figure to remain in a position, regardless of what happens to the text surrounding it. An easy way, so that it jumps the figure is following: less likely
Choose the figure so that the anchor icon is visible.Click on the anchor, and prefer you text on the first line of the text on the Seite.Wenn the first line on the add page, you need to position the anchor at the top of the page.There are many other aspects of the anchor, the you very precise control over your character behavior. Stay tuned and I'm going to delve into a few of those in a future post. Read the first two posts in this series here and here.
