Word: Odd Spacing When Multiple Graphics in Same Position

PSS ID Number: Q48043 Article last modified on 03-07-1997

========================================================= 4.00 MACINTOSH kbgraphic SUMMARY ———————————————————————- The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, version 4.0 == 

=
If two or more graphics are absolutely positioned at the same location in Word version 4.00, the graphics appear to be stacked vertically, with their borders touching. The horizontal spacing of the top graphic determines the placement of the surrounding text, regardless of the width of the lower graphic(s).

A problem can occur if the width of the top graphic is less than the width of the lower frames. When this condition occurs, any portion of the lower graphic that extends beyond the right border (as defined above) is not truncated as expected; instead, it can overlap the surrounding text when it is printed.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The workaround to this problem is as follows:


 * 1) Select the top graphic and temporarily widen it beyond the width of the lower graphic.
 * 2) Select a lower graphic and decrease its width to the desired amount.
 * 3) Repeat step 2 for all of the lower graphic.
 * 4) Select the top graphic and decrease its width to the desired amount.
