================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Works version 3.0x for Windows == 

= SYMPTOMS =

Absolutely placed objects (APOs) will not print or preview when placed in a label.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Create a new Word Processor document and from the Tools menu, choose Envelopes & Labels.
 * 2) Select the Mailing Labels tab, insert the fields on three lines and choose Create Label.
 * 3) From the Insert menu, choose ClipArt and insert a picture.
 * 4) Select the picture and from the Format menu, choose Picture.
 * 5) Select the Text Wrap tab, then choose Absolute. Press ENTER.
 * 6) Choose Yes to view in Page Layout.
 * 7) From the File menu, choose Print Preview.

NOTE: The clip art picture does not appear in print preview and will not print.

To correct this problem, format the picture as in-line:


 * 1) Follow steps 1 through 4 above.
 * 2) Select the Text Wrap tab, then choose In-Line. Press ENTER.
 * 3) Follow steps 6 and 7 above.

If the in-line object is on the first line, you can format the label with a hanging indent, which will force the object to the left of the text in the label.
