Also, once a document has been saved in Pub Layout View it will always open in that view from that point on. Īlthough you can switch views in a Pub file I’d strongly suggest that you not do so unless you are very familiar with how the program works.

As Daniel points out, its very nature negates many of the principle strengths of the program & creates a document structure by transparently invoking features which many users simply do not understand, often have no awareness of, and/or do not want to deal with. Its primary purpose is to make it easier for those who don’t know how the program works to do things Word really is not designed for & was never intended to do. IMHO, it is merely a veneer added to Word for the purpose of appealing to a wider range of users. Follow the links at the bottom of the page that refer to Floating graphics & the Draw Layer: If you intend to use graphic objects in Word documents you might do well to read through the information provided on this web site. Their position can be controlled in a variety of ways using the settings in the Layout> Advanced options, but they remain anchored to a paragraph. The clarification is that Floating objects are always Anchored to a paragraph.

Then drag your picture wherever you want it in the document and click out of the header. Insert the photo into the header, select any text wrapping style for your picture other than “in line”. I did see a great post about setting up a master page with a different first and second page-that was very helpful.ĭifferent question: For a new document, when do you a Publishing Layout vs. I have also tried Master Pages, but have had problems with that as well.

I have tried Header/Footer, but these can still be moved around. and to have Greeked text in the body that is formatted in the correct font and size, but that they can replace with their own text. I would like to have placeholder text to guide them, ex.: Title, Subtitle, Date, Heading, etc. I do not want them to be able to move the elements, just to be able to insert their own copy. over the masthead header, and their own copy into the main body of the document. They need to be able to insert their own title, date, etc.

I am designing a master document for a client. What am I missing? I have looked through all the Word training and can’t find the answer to keeping individual items from moving. Where is this? I have checked the “Lock Anchor” box in the advanced layout –> position window, but the item still moves. How do you lock elements (pictures, text boxes, shapes, etc.)? In reading through this forum, I have seen reference to an anchor icon.
