An object keeps getting off the page

[Timothy Madden]

I received a document with an unknown object (An AutoCAD graphic) that is quite large, over a half of a pag
It happens that in the current position the object does not fit on the current page. It is placed in-line with text
The object snaps to the next page, but at the buttom of the page (the document has top vertical alignament)
Now the object not only snaps to the bottom of the page, leaveing the top inexplainably empty, but it also crosse
the page margins, so it is further clipped, even if the page is big enough for the object

Please if anyone knows what might be happening tell me, there's nothing I know that I can do..

Hi =?Utf-8?B?VGltb3RoeSBNYWRkZW4=?=,

Right offhand, I'd say check Format/Paragraph whether a large "Space before" formatting has been applied. That would
fit the description, anyway...

Thank you, I got it. It was something more complicated. I discovered the
Show Paragraph Markers button on the toolbar and so I saw an
unexplainable text box included in the page header of the page that had
the graphic (the document was not mine). If I move the graphic (with cut
and paste) the textbox moves (unexplainably) with the graphic. However I
quickly deleted the tex box from the header and went continued my work

I guess this is just Microsoft

Interesting... And I'm wondering if someone didn't insert the graphic INTO
the text box, then apply text wrap formatting. The behavior you describe
certainly sounds like that's what happened. User error, not Microsoft
error I've encountered numerous people in these groups to whom some
"trainer" has given instructions for inserting graphics like this. It used
to be the only way back in Word 6/95 days. But after seven or eight years,
you'd think they'd have learned that Word 97 and later have to do it
differently!
