Position the Graphic Relative to the Page


The Problem:

I found the perfect graphic, inserted it in my document, and sized it just right. But as soon as I start to edit the text of the document, the graphic goes walkabout.

The Solution:

The problem is that the graphic is anchored to something that's movingprobably a paragraph. Right-click the graphic and choose Format Picture, click the Layout tab, click either the "Behind text" option or the "In front of text" option (whichever seems best for this picture), and then click the Advanced button. On the Picture Position tab, uncheck the "Move object with text" box. Select each of the "Absolute position" options (there's a horizontal one and a vertical one) and choose Page in the drop-down lists alongside these options.


Warning: If an anchor is contained in a table, you can position the object only relative to the table, not relative to the page.
