Embedding an MSWord page in an MsWord document?
Is it possible to embed an entire MSword page (with text and graphics) as an object in an MSWord document so as to have text flow around it?
Use a screen capture program such as Snagit from www.techsmith.com to capture the page that you want to insert and the copy the result from the Snagit Editor and paste it into your document.
Thanks for responding. That could work, but if possible I would like to get a higher definition than screen capture. Is there a way to insert a PDF as a viewable object, not an icon?
You should try Snagit. In addition to its Screen Capture ability, it also includes a printer that can be used to "print" a document that can be saved in the Snagit editor as an image that can be inserted into a document.
- Click on the image in my response and expand it to see the quality of a Snagit screen capture.
- Thanks for responding. Will give it a go.
- Unfortunately not (at least so far). Here's the challenge.
- Snagit copies the multiple graphics into a single snapshot as desired.
- However, as in the case original, the graphic-of-graphics covers the entire page edge-to-edge on all sides. As such it requires a 'fix position' on page setting (since 'in line with text' won't do that).
- I have tried every text wrapping option but cannot get text to flow around the graphic (that is, go to the next page). To be clear what is required is that there be TEXT on page 1, GRAPHIC on page 2, and TEXT on page 3. If the TEXT on page 1 overruns the page, it needs to flow to page 3. What it does instead is push the graphic forward, creating a new page 2
- I can achieve the same effect (ensuring that the overrun TEXT on page 1 doesn't run into the GRAPHIC on page 2) by putting a page break before the graphic. But then I am continually having to cut and paste to neaten things up. Also it is easy to miss since adding text on page 35 may lead to overrun on page 53.
