Hello all,



I don't like to work in Word very much but now have a project that is forcing my hand! I am pasting images gathered with the snipping tool into a word doc. I am then drawing circle shape(s) onto the picture to bring attention to part of the image. As I type in the background of the word doc, the picture will move down, which is fine. But the circle shapes do move with the pictures. How can I "cement" the circle shapes to the image?

Thanks for your help.

The best way, IMO, is to construct your graphic with your textual matter in an applicable software that supports construction of graphics...namely, PowerPoint, Visio or other similar software. Your profile indicates you have Office 2003...that suite includes PowerPoint. Construct your graphics and text in PowerPoint, save the graphic as needed (.jpeg, .png...whatever), then import it into the Word file. Word is a word processor and not too friendly with graphic constuction.

If you insert both the images and the drawing circle shapes into Word using text-wrapping, you should be able to lock the shape anchors to a specific paragraph then anchor the circle shape anchors to the same location. They should then move together.
