How do I position a picture from the top of the page?

[whitecloud_nz]

In a recent MOS demo I undertook, I was asked to position a picture an exact
amount from the top of the page. I right clicked on the pic, took Format
Pic, Layout, Advanced, Picture Position..... but could find no option to
"position the picture x.x inches/cms from the top of the page. As a result,
I failed the whole question.
Any ideas?

If you're using an older version of Word, you won't have this dialog at all,
but assuming that you have the Format Picture | Layout | Advanced dialog at
all, then the first thing you have to do is, on the Text Wrapping tab,
choose a wrapping style other than "In line with text." This will make the
settings on the Picture Position tab available. You can then set the
Vertical position as "Absolute position [amount] below Page."

Thanks for your speedy reply. I think what stumped me was that I was asked
to place pic 'x' amount from the top of page. Alll I could see was "below"
page so started trying to find "top" of page! I will go back to the demo and
try again.
Thanks for your help.
