Insert the picture and move it into the frame by anchoring it to the frame. Anchor the frame "As character". It's a bit fiddly and it's difficult to describe the process for getting the word and the picture into the frame but a bit of trial and error will repay the effort. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
Sorry to reply to my own post but I found a better way. Insert the picture. Right click on it and choose Caption. Select "<None>" as the "Category" and type the word into the space provided at the bottom. The picture will now carry the caption around with it as it's moved. Anchor the picture "As character" and the job's done. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
