Number position for numbered list of images

ofey · #1 09-28-2013, 01:32 PM

The following two images are numbered in a list, but the numbering is in the bottom left corner of each image. I need the numbering to be in the top left corner of each image. Is there any way to do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks

I'm assuming that the picture is "In line with text"? In that case, it behaves like a normal text character. Select it. Press Ctrl+D; in the Font dialog box, click the Advanced tab. In the "Position" box, choose "Lowered." Specify a value about the same as the height of the picture.

Hi Stefan,
Thank you for your reply. Under the 'home' tab I went to the little arrow to extend the Font section and then I hit the 'Advanced' tab and I set the position to 'lower' and 120pt did it.
But I need to do this for every image? Is there any way to set the top of the image to be flush with the number, regardless of the size of the image?
Thanks again,
Shane

As I wrote, with the "In line with text" placement option, a picture behaves like a (large) text character.

To automate the process, you can use a macro. Try something like this:

Code:

Sub AdjustTextPosForInlineShapes()
Dim i As InlineShape
For Each i In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes
i.Range.Font.Position = -i.Height + 14
'+14 adds the font size. can be omitted
Next i
End Sub
