I remember. I started WP in 1989. It was ver. 5.1 back then. I still have the diskettes and the boxed set manuals right here on the shelf and I still have it loaded in a fully functional 15#Toshiba 3100SX laptop that has a little grey scale screen and has never once malfunctioned since 1989, and I have carried all over the globe from northern Alaska to the South Pole, in and out of helicopters and light planes and C-130's. You won't get that kind of life out of a laptop these days. It runs DOS 6.2 with stacker or Windows 3.1 flawlessly to this day and has an incredible bunch of software on it from Autocad 10 on down to Wordperfect, excel, Quatro Pro, Lotus, R base, Surfer, you name it... What a machine that thing is.
I was inserting an image into Word 2003 yesterday and it just disappeared. Looked down for a few pages then discovered it 2 pages up from where I put it. Go figure. It wouldn't come down so I resized it to very small and dragged it down to where we started. When I do that I usually insert it in the upper right or left hand corner then select it and grab a corner and resize it up to what I want, which usually works pretty well. You just have to make sure to select the "square" option in the image toolbar to get the text to wrap around the image. I haven't even tried this sort of thing in Word 2010 yet and am not anxious to do so.
