Specifying "Distance from Text" in Formatting Picture

[Karategrammy]

I want to increase the "Distance from Text" when formatting a picture. I
deselect Automatic and specify 0.24" for all four dimensions. The page looks
great. I save the file. When I re-open it, my specifications are gone and the
Automatic box is checked. Why is it reverting, and what can I do to stop it?
Losing the specified distance from text messes up the formatting of the whole
page.

I cannot duplicate this in Publisher 2003. I tried formatting both the image and
the text box in various ways, still I can save it and reopen with the formatting
remaining in tact.
Are you editing a document that was previously created in an earlier version?
Have you edited the image in any way, especially cropping?

I am working back and forth between Publisher 2002 (on my home computer) and
Publisher 98 (at work). The formatting works perfectly on the Publisher 98
system, but when I e-mail the file to my home computer, the problem arises
again. The graphic has not been altered. Now what?!?

I am working back and forth between Publisher 2002 (on my home
computer) and Publisher 98 (at work). The formatting works perfectly
on the Publisher 98 system, but when I e-mail the file to my home
computer, the problem arises again. The graphic has not been altered.

There is formatting lost when opening a Publisher 98 file in Publisher 2003.

There is formatting lost when saving a Publisher 2003 file as Publisher 98.

There is sometimes formatting loss when working on a file in Publisher 2003
that was created in Publisher 98.

The solution: Pick ONE version and stick to it!
