To ensure that pictures in a Word document don't move when the document is generated or edited, you need to set the pictures to have a fixed position. Here's how you can do that:
Insert the Picture :
First, insert the picture into your Word document by going to the Insert tab and choosing Pictures .
Select the Picture :
Click on the inserted picture to select it.
Access Layout Options :
Once the picture is selected, a small icon (Layout Options) typically appears next to it. Click on this icon.
Alternatively, you can go to the Format tab (under Picture Tools ) and select Wrap Text.
Set Text Wrapping :
Choose a text wrapping option that suits your document layout. Common choices for fixed positioning include:
Behind Text or In Front of Text: This allows the picture to be independent of the text flow.
Tight or Square: This wraps the text around the picture but allows the picture to remain in a fixed position relative to the page content.
Fix the Position on Page :
After setting the text wrapping style, you will get the option to move with text or fix the position on page in the same opened window.
Choose 'fix position on page' and save the document.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your images remain in a fixed location and do not shift around when the document is edited or generated by a system. This is particularly useful for maintaining consistent document layouts.
