Problems with inserting pictures Word 2007
I have a couple of problems with Microsoft Word 2007. I am aware that this is a superseded version which is no longer supported by Microsoft. I have been retired from office life for twenty years, ...
How are you wanting to layout the pictures?
I would suggest that you simply insert them into the body of the document and set the layout so that they are In line with text, in which case the picture is inserted into a separate paragraph, which can be formatted to be kept together with the next paragraph into which you insert the caption. In that way, the picture and the caption will always be kept together.

Thank you Doug for a very quick response. I have tried your suggestion of just inserting a photo directly into the text document, rather than into a text box, but that has not been successful and the problem remains.
It is easy enough to specify where I want the photo to be placed – whether into a table-cell, or a text box, or directly into the text. It is also easy enough to specify an individual photo which shall be inserted. The problem is that the required image does not appear in the document as required.
Based on my previous experience I still wish to use text boxes, because these offer a very convenient method for controlling the exact placement of photos on a printed page.
In each scenario the image can be made to become visible (but only briefly) in the document while a sensitive spot of the “picture frame” is being dragged by the mouse, but as soon as the mouse button is released the image disappears.
Do you think that it might be a “Windows 10” problem? Can you think of any other possible cause for this problem?
I am trying to create a PDF file which can be submitted to a printing company which specializes in low-volume book printing. The book I wish to publish is an autobiography of my wife’s one remaining Auntie, who is 97 years old. The book is anticipated to be about 220 pages, A5 size, with about 40,000 words and 40 photographs which shall be individually captioned.

- Can you upload a copy of the file, or part of it so that we can investigate the problem.
- Thank you Doug for your suggestion that I upload a copy of a text document. I would like to create such a document which will allow you to investigate. I would propose to include each method you have suggested for inclusion of a photograph, as well as in a text box, i.e.:
1. Insert a photo in a table cell
2. Insert a photo directly into the document
3. Insert a photo into a text box (my preferred method).
The photos I wish to insert are in “.jpg” format. I would be happy to supply a test document which contains all three scenarios, or to supply three separate test documents, with only one scenario in each document. I presume that you wish for me to supply files in “filename.docx” format.
Do you perhaps wish for me to supply files in “filename.pdf” format as well?
Shall I supply just one file? – or would you prefer a separate file for each scenario?
In your reply you said, “Can you upload a copy of the file, or part of it so that we can investigate the problem”. I am not aware of how I can upload a document to this forum. If I had an email address for you, I would be able to attach the necessary test file(s). Please advise the method you wish for me to use.
Thank you again, for the assistance you are offering.Wilfred180 After clicking on Reply, if you click on the Open full text editor link
