Cannot Position Big Pictures..

Hey all,

As far back as I can remember I've had major problems working with big
pictures in Word. When I say "big pictures", I generally refer to pictures
that are so large that they can't fit inside the page's margins but should
still be able to fit a printed A4 page.

So, when I insert such a big picture in the document and set it the text to
flow around it (so I can freely position the picture), every time I try to
move it it's automatically snapped to the top or bottom of the current page.
I have absolutely no idea on how to fix this. The picture can easily fit a
printed page, but somehow I guess it's conflicting with the page's margins
:|

Anyone able to help me out?
Thanks,

Right-click, select Format, go to Layout > Advanced, and position the
graphic manually. Not sure how you expect the text to flow around it,
though, if the picture is larger than the page.

Strange, I already tried entering the absolute position before asking the
question and it had absolutely no effect.
I guess I'd just been using too big values.

Anyway, thanks a bunch :)

It's always worked for me, even with pictures positioned at (0,0) -- h =
297, w=210. Which is as large as you want for A4!
