Flowing Numbered Lists Around Images
I'm currently using Word 2010 and in earlier versions, I could run numbered lists around an image and they would align correctly; in Word 2010 that doesn't work. I've tried adjusting the right-hand margin of the image and the tab settings on the ruler but nothing has worked so far. I've attached a screen shot just in case I'm not being clear enough. Does anyone know how that works in the current version of Word?

Hi Paul,
What isn't working the same as before? Your screen shot seem to indicate that the text does flow around the image.

Hi Paul,
If you look closer at the image, you'll see that the numbered list item itself, to the right of the image, doesn't align correctly. if you look at a numbered list like this:
Does that make sense? |

Hi Paul,
There was a bug in Word versions 2000-2003 (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/209633) that meant hanging indents around shape objects were lost - unless the paragraph used a numbered format. It seems that when MS introduced Word 2007, they replicated the bug - except that it now applies to paragraph using numbered formats as well. Other than using a two-column table, the only workaround is to put the image on the right side of the page.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the response and the solution. I hadn't had anyone ask me to do that type of formatting in a while, so I thought I was doing something wrong. The solution of using a Table is perfect and I wish I had thought of it myself. It's such a simple formatting issue, you'd think that they would have fixed it my now, but I guess that's just wishful thinking on my part. Anyway, I really appreciate the help; thanks very much! |
