Default Why are the images off center

Hi


Ive been doing some work in Word and I have come back and the images are no longer centered. You can see that the right side has been cut off / moved

I hope someone can help
Maceasar





This is how it should look

It may be obvious to you, but the problem is not obvious to me.

The image I am seeing in the problem document is larger than your margins. It is likely in-line-with text, that is in the text layer. In that layer it cannot be placed to the left of the left margin. You could resize it to fit inside your margins.

Thanks for the reply.
The margins were equal up until the last few documents. The image was in the center with the same amount of space of each said.
I could show you 80 documents with side that are even

Take a look at the size of the images.
Resize the problem image or float it so that it starts further to the left.

PS
The margins are set to the left after checking various images

There was nothing unusual under 'paragraph'

Resize the problem image or float it so that it starts further to the left.

When you paste an image in Word, it does not automatically size to fit the page. It is in no way restrained by the right margin. If it is in-line-with text, it will start at the insertion point or left margin.

It is inline with the text.

I have 80+ douments that isnt doing this. Why?

The only solution is re sizing the image and re position the arrows

Thanks.

But a reason why this happened would be appreciated

(I chatted with MS Tech) and he wasnt able to help but we determined could re size the images

There was nothing wrong with tabs or paragraph, fyi

Why? Because Word does not automatically size to fit.

wp= Word Press

The images in MS Word have moved. I dont know why - YouTube

Are any of the off-center images small enough to fit between the margins?

  • Word is not a page layout program, it is a word processing program.
  • Word does not automatically resize images when they are inserted.
  • How they are handled depends on your settings.
  • If they are in-line-with text, they are treated much like any single character you would type.

As far as I know, no settings have changed.

Ive looked at photos that were used from documents that havent been affected. The average goes up to 800 pixels by 500 pixels, some may be 900 pixels by 500 pixels.

I take captures from videos (as you can see in the video above). The screen is always the same size.

I went back and resized images that were too big.

I just dont know why it happened because it was saved and it was fine. I checked it because the purpose was to make into e-books

Especially if you are trying to get into yet another form, you should try editing images in a separate drawing program and then bringing them into Word exactly as you will want them in Word.

I remembered that something happened with the recent documents I was working with.

The 'real estate' from left to right seemed much bigger than it had been. For example, an image, from left to right, would end in the center. As if the 'playing field / real estate' was wider than it had been.

I looked through some previous documents and those were affected so I think this widening of the 'real estate' is why the images extend further to the right than it had

Thanks
