MS Word Picture Object
I think you have to customize a toolbar and add, from the format menu, the
picture as object command. it is no longer on the pic toolbar automatically. "George Wilson" wrote: There is a required procedure that she is following. It sure seemed like a round about way to accomplish a simple task, but it seems the document needs to follow a specified guideline. Thank you for your assistance Beth "Beth Melton" wrote: I believe the difference lies in how an object is inserted. The "Reset Picture Boundary" only applies to floating objects rather than inline objects. You can determine inline vs floating by the selection handles. Black indicates inline and white indicates floating. Change the object to floating and see if the picture boundary is reset. If you are working with images then use the "Text Wrapping" command on the Picture toolbar and change the wrapping to anything other than "In line with text". Also, is there a specific reason she is using a Microsoft Word Picture object rather than inserting the object directly? If it's a matter of creating a group of objects then there are alternate methods available such as Insert/Picture/New Drawing which will create a drawing canvas that is similar to using a Microsoft Word Picture object and if you need to group objects you can use the Group command. -- Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

I am assisting a customer running Office 2003 on Windows 2000 system. She was recently upgraded from office 2000 to office 2003. She has a procedure for the insertion of images into a document type. The procedure is to insert an object, choose Microsoft Word Picture, she then pastes her object in the window and she hits "Reset Picture Boundary" button and it resizes the box to fit the picture. This is no longer working for her after the upgrade. I try this on my system and get the same result, I have tried it in 3 different versions of Word and still unable to make this work the way she described. Are we leaving out a step here? Is there an issue with the reset picture boundary button? anyone have any suggestions? TIA George |
