I am creating a sales presentation template in Word for my salespeople to
customize. I have set up a table on each page containing photos and text. The
table is reproduced on each page and is given a strict structure (doesn't
break over pages, exact height and width for each cell, etc.) Unfortunately
the salepeople are consistently having problems with adding photos to the
table.
When a photo is added (via insert>picture>from file...) only the bottom edge
of it appears; you can see the outline of the rest, but the image is not
displayed. I know part of this issue is caused by the fact that every image
added to a Word file is added with layout in "in line with text" mode (a
default function that should be editable, but don't get me started). If it is
changed to "in front of text", you'd think this would solve the problem, but
it doesn't: the photo usually disappears altogether! (I assume it is below
the table, even though the cells have "no fill"). If I somehow get the photo
to show up in front of the table and drag it over to the appropriate cell, it
disappears, or only a portion is visible, or it mysteriously shifts to
another location!
I have seemingly tried every possible properties adjustment, and have
rebuilt the entire table from scratch twice. Does anyone have any suggestions
for me? I'd be happy to send you the table if you like.
Help!
