I frequently work on Word documents that have been created by other users
where it's my task to clean up the formatting and graphics. I often come
across graphics that appear to be floating in that each graphic has white
circular handles on the corners and midpoints and a rotation handle but when
I go to Format Picture/Layout, it says it's "in line with text." In order to
get rid of the circular handles and rotation handle, I change the format to
"in front of text" and hit OK, then go back in and switch it to "in line
with text" and hit OK again. Once I've done that the standard solid black
resizing handles appear.
A few questions on this:
(1) Is there a simpler way to reset the graphics so they are "in line with
text"? Is there a way to automate the process, so when I open a file all the
graphics would be automatically set to "in line with text."
(2) Since the original graphic already appears to be "in line with text" why
do I see the wrong type of resizing handles? i.e., what's the likely cause
for the graphics appearing like this in the first place?
(3) If I left the graphics as-is without reapplying "in line with text"
would they be likely to cause problems later?
I'm using Word 2003 on Windows XP. Under Tools-->Options-->Edit, the option
is set to "insert/paste pictures as in line with text."
