Making Photos Stay in place in Word

Random Text Generator  - RAND FUNCTION

When I want to try something new I hate to try it on my working Document.  Sometimes I'll use a copy of my working document but that gets confusing  at times which document I am working with. I set up a test document. 

I'll Open a new word document and use the  random text generator provided by word.

 Type in =RAND(4,3) the first number "4" inserts 4 paragraphs and the "3" inserts 3 sentences per paragraph.

This will displays general information about word: 4 Paragraphs with 3 Sentences. 

Since we are discussing word formatting I'll use the "old RAND"

=RAND.OLD(4,3) Still 4 Paragraphs, with 3 Sentences) But text that is not confused with real text.

=RAND(20,5) would give 20 paragraphs with 5 Sentences

IMAGES

For this example I used =RAND.OLD(10,10) 10 Paragraphs of 10 Sentences

Showing where I want picture inserted

Picture inserted:

I have some decisions to make:

Photo to big and is beside 2 paragraphs.

I can use the photo "Handles" to re-size or right click on picture and set exact size:

Size set to 1"

Photo is now beside Paragraph 1

Right Click on Picture and select "Text Wrapping" and we see our default was "Tight"

So if we change to "inline" our text goes from beside "tight" to "inline" with sentence

TIGHT:

Inline Wrapping would leave large space on each side

IF we change to Square wrapping:

Tight and Square Wrapping text Whats the difference?

Some images are not square, for example this is a triangle with "Square Wrapping"

The Picture is surrounded "tight" Wrapping. Text close to Picture

Understanding the types of wrapping will help understand picture placements 

Next Captions and making the picture stay where you want it

Note the little Anchor... we will anchor the picture to a paragraph and make it stay where you want it.
