Understanding images: part 3 - implementation

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.

Understanding images: part 4 - stay in position

Sometimes, especially when you try to create a 1-page flyer, you want to position a figure at a particular location on the page and make sure that it stays put.  One possibility is the position in the menu on the Ribbon format use to align your figure with one of the nine common positions on the page:

To position select one of the options in the section with text wrapping to your figure will do three things:

Go you your character from inline to floatingApply square text wrappingPosition the picture relative to the edge of the document

The third item in the list is the key (and what does this menu different menu wrap text ).  To understand what it means, we go back to my previous post when I said that the relationship between a character and its anchor.

In this post, I mentioned that the picture will move if the text, the, which it is attached, moved.   This is because, by default a character relative to the text is positioned where it is anchored.  In most cases because it tends to a relationship between the text and the illustration, this is exactly what to do.

We see an example of us.  The following document I added a picture to go along with the family magazine I write.  The image is related to paragraph, where you can see the anchor icon:

When I later add a different paragraph (the blue text), which pushes the text and the anchor to the next page, the image on the next page moves.  Once said there, the same position relative to the location of the anchor - in this case over an inch after down from the top of the paragraph:

If a character is position relative to the edges, what happens if you use the location menu, are not on the page move as the anchor moves.  But when the anchor to the next page pushed the figure still jumps to the next page (see rule # 1 in the last post).  In this case, the figure in the same relative position on the next page remains.

Again the example when the image originally relative to the edge on the first page, positions were above, when I insert the blue text and press the figure in a two page-the result would look like this:

Note that the image keeps its relative position on the page in the lower right corner, if it is moved to the next page.

If you see exactly how your figure is positioned and whether it moves with the text laid down or will remain in a fixed position on the page, you can look at the Advanced Layout dialog box.  Select more layout optionsmenu at the bottom of the position .  On the tab position in the dialog, you see several options to align an image vertically and horizontally.  At the bottom of the dialog box is called an option to move with text.  Try selecting and clearing, the option and see how the settings above to change this behavior to enable.
