Graphics being sucked into the Header.

[George Wilson]

I am assisting a customer running Word 2000 on a Windows 2000 computer. He
has a document with images that appear to be placed in absolute positions.
When he moves one too close to the header, the header sucks up the whole
image and extends halfway down the page. This happens for most images placed
close to the top of the page. The document appears fine until the
Header/Footer is viewed. Any Ideas what I need to do to resolve this?
TIA
George

Hi =?Utf-8?B?R2VvcmdlIFdpbHNvbg==?=,

I can't recall having ever seen anything quite like what you describe, although
I have experienced "monster" headers. This was usually an indication that the
file had been damaged. Copying and pasting all the text - WITHOUT the very last
paragraph mark - into a new document usually solved the problem.

try this.... in the format picture dialog box, go to layout tab, advanced
button - and set vertical and horizontal alignment to "page". that should
keep the image from "flying around".
