There does not seem to be any way to do this in Word 3.0... the only way I've been able to do this is to choose the LaserWriter, then do a Page Preview, and laboriously reposition figures one at a time. Plus I can't break a paragraph manually, so I have only rough control over the placement. Has anyone been able to come up with a reasonable way to do this? I realize that it's breaking some interpretations of WYSIWYG to float figures, but it is necessary! -- Mike Klein klein@Sun.COM Sun Microsystems, Inc. {ucbvax,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!sun!klein Mountain View, CA ---------------------------------------- Submissions to: desktop%plaid@sun.com -OR- sun!plaid!desktop Administrivia to: desktop-request%plaid@sun.com -OR- sun!plaid!desktop-request Paths: {ihnp4,decwrl,hplabs,seismo,ucbvax}!sun Chuq Von Rospach chuq@sun.COM Delphi: CHUQ Touch Not the Cat Bot a Glove -- MacIntosh Clan Motto
