Cannot move an image in Word

Try right-clicking on the image and choosing “Image Format.”

For my wife (Microsoft Office Word 2007 (12.0.4518.1014) MSO (12.0.6020.5000)) you then clicked the “Layout” tab and have to choose something different than “In Line with Text.”

In my copy (Microsoft Office Word 2007 (12.0.6331.5000) SP1 MSO (12.0.6320.5000)) I could not do that at all.  Although I noticed several things:

  • You can right-click the image and choose “Text Wrapping” then choose something different than “In Line with Text.”
  • You can select the image and then your “Picture Tools” tab should be available with one sub-category called “Format.”  In that area you can choose the “Position” button which lets you select from text wrapping and layout options (again select something other than “In Line with Text.”)
  • You can alternatively hit the “Text Wrapping” button (instead of the “Position” button) and quickly choose a different text wrap option.
  • And finally right-clicking and choosing “Format Picture” does not offer me ANYTHING useful in correct text wrapping or layout.
