I wonder if someone can help me. I've just been upgraded to Word 2003 (XP) and unfortunately an existing template I use no longer wants to play ball. I have a template for namebadges. Essentially it is a table (5x4) that prints onto A3 paper with the cells measuring 8.9 x 5.5cm. In these cells, I place a JPG (which is usually a specific brand/graphic) which is to be the basis of each individual Name Badge. In Layout, I make this JPG go "behind text", "not to move with text" etc etc so that then I can place merge fields into each cell and format these so that they appear on top of the JPG. I've now just spent nearly 2 hrs trying to achieve this exactly again in Word 2003 and for the life of me, it will not let me line up the JPG's to the cells. Everytime I get close to having them lined up, they move (of their own free will) to another position. Any advice .....? Thank you very much. Nikki.
