insert picture or text box across 2 columns WITHOUT column lin
I really like the look of the line. I have figured out a work around. I will
just draw the line where I want manually. Thanks! -- Thanks Very Much! Art Nittskoff "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Not a bug, exactly, just behavior "by design," I suppose. Would you consider eliminating the line between columns? Is it really necessary? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Art Nittskoff" wrote in message ... I have tried all the different wraps. I really need the tight wrap. Is this a bug in the program? -- Thanks Very Much! Art Nittskoff "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: I think the problem is with the Tight wrap. If you set the wrapping to In Front of Text, you would not see the line, but you also wouldn't be able to wrap the text tightly around the picture. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Art Nittskoff" wrote in message ... Bob, I will try to give you as many details as I can. I have tried this with a picture (jpg) and a text box and the results are the same. I am using office 2007 I get the picture from my hard drive. I hit insert picture, click on the one I want, and it inserts it. To get that line I am talking about, I go to page layout, columns and check the line between box. Then I right click it and hit format. I click text wrap and then hit tight. If I put the picture in the middle of the two colums, it shows the column dividing line thru the middle. Just in case this was only a screen issue, I also printed it and the line is there. I have never adjusted transparency (nor do I know how), so I do not know if that is an issue. I sure appreciate all the help. If it helps, I can email you the file. You can email me at and tell me where to send it. -- Thanks Very Much! Art Nittskoff "CyberTaz" wrote: Are you referring to a *picture* or a text box? You've used both terms but they are *not* the same thing. If you're actually dealing with a text box you need to apply a [white?] Fill. Text boxes have no Fill by default which would explain why the Column separator line is showing through. If it actually is a picture, exactly what type of "picture" is it? Is it positioned in a Header/Footer? Please be as explicit as you can about what it is & where it is. No offense -- I'm not saying you aren't seeing what you're seeing -- but what you're describing is virtually impossible unless (a) there is something you're not disclosing (such as a transparency issue) or (b) there is something seriously wrong. The separator line between columns is a part of the text body component of the document, whereas floating graphic objects are not. Floating graphics are in a separate "layer" of the document, either beneath [Headers/Footers] or in front of the text layer. All text wrapping options except Behind Text & Through make the object float atop (or in front of) the text layer. Also, what version of Word are you using & where did the picture come from?

OK - As Suzanne suggested, Word 2007 is a bit of a maverick in a number of
ways... This is one of them. Right-click the picture, point to Bring to Front & select Bring In Front of Text.
