  • 1. Inserting pictures and only get a box
    I have a lab of computers with Office XP loaded on Dell desktop computers. Sometimes when we try to insert a picture into Word, all that comes up is a box and not the picture. If we go to adjust the color of the picture, it sometimes shows up. Sometimes the top half of the picture shows and if we scroll down, the lower half will show, but the upper half is now missing. This does not happen all the time. What could be causing this issue.

Hi John,

You can use the connectors in Word when the drawings/textboxes/shapes are within a MS Office Drawing canvas frame.

In Word 2002 and 2003 you can create a Drawing Canvas from
 Insert=>Picture=>New Drawing
In Word 2007
 Insert=>Shapes=>New Drawing Canvas

The drawing canvas size is limited to a single page in Word.

I remember doing this in the past, but forgot, how can i group/connect two
textboxes or other objects with line so when i dragging one of text boxes,
line is still connected to it and it dinamically expands?

3.Making a line using "Horizontal Line" in Borders and Shading

I'm making 2 lines in my document using "Horizontal Line" from borders and 
shading.  The first line is great goes from the left margin to the right 
margin.  The second line which is after some text, starts further to the left 
and is shorter than the other line.  I even did a copy and paste of the first 
line with the same result.  Any help is appreciated.

You would need to remove all the carriage returns inserted by the 
sender's email program..  You might be able use "Find and Replace", or 
another function of Word.  Ask in a Word NG for better help..

5.Line spacing is expanded when everything set to single/zero

I have been trawling through the discussion threads for... prob hours and 
have not found anything close to what I am excperiencing.

I have a Word document, created by someone in a different country, where the 
spacing between lines, not just paragraphs, is enlarged. More than likely the 
doc was created in Word 2003 or less, I am using 2007, but retaining the 
97-2003 compatibility with the file. Here is what I have checked as a cause 
to the super spacing:
>The Page Layout is set to Top;
>Line spacing is set to single;
>'Don't use HTML paragraph auto spacing' is unticked;
>Spacing before and after are set to 0pts (for this section of text).

I have copied the text into Notepad to remove any formatting codes, copied 
that, and pasted it back into the word doc, but it retains its super spacing. 
I have copied it from Notepad and pasted it into a new Word doc with 0pt 
spacing before and after and it behaves as it should.

They reason why I haven't done that for the doc yet is because this super 
spacing is affecting all of the styles active within the document. And if I 
can get this worked out rather than do a quick fix of pasting it into a new 
document, I'll be happier.

I have also tried reimporting the styles from the global template doc, but 
it hasn't fixed the issue.

Has anyone else come across this before?
