Although it requires unorthodox use of advanced Word functionality, there is
actually a way to do this, contrary to conventional wisdom. I gleaned this from a post by MVP Graham Mayor in microsoft.public.word.drawing.graphics. "A slightly unusual suggestion will do the job. Open the header view and place your image on the page with a wrapping option set (not in-line) as appropriate where you require it to appear. Select the image and save as an autotext entry. Delete the image. Whilst still in the header area enter the following field {IF {Page} = 2 {Autotext name}} (insert the autotext at the appropriate point with the autotext tool from the header toolbar.) Toggle the field display and the image will 'disappear'. Close the header. The image will only appear on the second page at the point you placed it. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP" "fw76" wrote in message ... Dear all I have a problem: Imagine I have 2 pages full of text.between them I'd like to put a page full with several pictures . I would like this text box to be as big as the area between my margins so that no text from the 2 mentioned pages appear on it. Moreover I would like this text box to stay in place, actually page 2. Moreover, I would like the 2 pages full of text to be placed in page 1 and 3. I would like the text to float nicely between page 1 and 3 without any break of any kind. results: Due to the size, the text box moves although I said it shouldn't (do not move with text). If I manage to make the text box stay at the right place, a line of my text from the 2 text pages typically hides behind my text box although i did not allow overlap. Do you have a solution to this? by advance, Thanks. |

But text still won't wrap around it, will it? That is, will this image cause
text to quit on the previous page and restart on the following page? -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
It looked good on paper, but when I tested it crashed Word when trying to scroll through the document. Also, even if the image was sized to fill the whole page with wrapping set to Square or Top and Bottom, Word still insisted on running one line of text behind the image on page 2. So I guess in point of fact it doesn't work. Regards, Chad "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... But text still won't wrap around it, will it?

I have the same formatting desire and have been struggling with it all
morning. The only solution I've found is to use STAROFFICE which does exactly what we're talking about here, according to my co-worker who just tried it out. "Suzanne S.

I answered a similar question in word.tables this morning and have provided
a similar (but much less detailed) solution to you in response to your previous message. -- Suzanne S.
