Moving aligned pictures in 2007

[Jan Kucera]

Hi all,
I would like the pictures to be aligned with a text, moved with it and so
on. For example, I have want the image to be aligned top right to specific
paragraph.
I am able to do that - more or less - manually by setting layout as
aligned, but when I touch the picture to move it, the layout changes and it
is moved as being absolutely positioned. Using Word 2007.
I expect to see a text move cursor/caret so I can specify the line (exact
location in text) of my picture.

Or is there any other approach in Word 2007 to get this behaviour?

Thanks for any help,
Jan Kucera

Is this so unusual request? Should I ask in another group?

Maybe you should consider using a table with the text in one cell and the
picture in an adjoining cell.

You mean placing the whole document in one huge table paragraph by
paragraph?
Hmm...I don't like this solution very much... but thank you for reply.

It seems this cannot be done (this feature was dropped...).

What about the picture margin? I have aligned it right to the "right
margin", but it's placed touching the page edge and I would like to have a
space between the image and page... but distance from text does not work. If
I place it right to the "column", the distance works, but only in positive
numbers and the image is too left.

Maybe editing the docx file directly would allow me to move the picture...

Not necessarily the whole document, just the picture and the text with which
you want to maintain the alignment. That is a two column one row table with
the text in one cell and the picture in the other.

Doug, two questions:
will the table row be splitted over page boundary as the paragraph
normally would?
how do I preserve the tight wrapping around the picture?

An object, such as a picture cannot span from one page to the next. When
the cell into which you are inserting the text is full, you will need to
jump out of the table to continue the text.
