Deb,

I have a copy of your Sept. OOF, which I LOVE. How did you insert the picture of the stones OVER the copy, and not INTO it. I am trying to modify it for my October OOF, and when I try to put in a pic. of the bar board, it inserts it and makes it into a two page form. (I hope that is clear as mud....!):confused: :confused: :confused:

Thanks!
Kelly
 
I'm not Debbie, but I'll help. When you insert a picture into a document, it automatically inserts "in line with text." Which means the bottom edge of the picture will be even with the line of text. To change the settings on the picture, right click the picture and then click FORMAT PICTURE. Click the LAYOUT tab. You'll have a few different options on the picture layout. If you want the picture to behind the text, then click BEHIND TEXT. Then you need to decide if you want the picture to be LEFT, RIGHT, or CENTERED with in the line of text!
