Introduction to Word Animation Tutorial 73: Picture Positioning

Through the previous tutorial, you may have found that floating pictures can use the mouse or the arrow keys to move freely, but if you need to accurately and uniformly arrange all the pictures in the document position, drag method is too extensive. In fact, the location of the picture can be customized, the steps are as follows:

1. Select the picture you want to position.

2. Double-click the picture, open the Format Picture dialog box, switch to the Layout tab, and, by clicking the Advanced button, open the Advanced Layout dialog box.

3. If the picture is embedded, you cannot set its position in the dialog box, change to another floating type, such as tight type.

4. Switch to the Picture Position tab, and then select the horizontal and vertical datums you want to locate, such as margins, pages, or paragraphs. You can align an object with a datum, or you can type a number to determine the position of the object with the datum.

5. Choose another option.

Select Move object with text to move the picture along with the paragraph that it belongs to.

You can lock the anchor point of the picture to the paragraph that you currently belong to by selecting lock tag. If it is not checked, when the object is moved vertically, its anchor points will also move along and belong to other paragraphs. For locked pictures, if you delete the paragraph (including the paragraph mark), it will be deleted, regardless of where the picture is.

Select Allow overlap to overlap the pictures that have the same wrapping style. Of course, similar layout can also be, such as "Around" and "tight type" layout of the picture.

Tips:

If you select a picture, the document does not display an anchor point (which is generally displayed in the left margin), executable tools → options → view, and select the all item in formatting indicators. Drag an anchor point to change the paragraph that the picture is dependent on, but the anchor point cannot be dragged after the picture is locked.

The animation of the specific operation process is as follows:
