The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word for Windows versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

SUMMARY

If an object is absolutely positioned with the Format Position command in Microsoft Word for Windows and you insert text or graphics above the absolutely positioned object (APO) so that in normal or draft view the APO is below a page break, Word moves the APO to the next page.

MORE INFORMATION

Absolute positioning secures an item in a certain location on the page; however, if you insert text or graphics above the APO so that the item moves to the next page in normal or draft view, the object moves to its designated position on the next page.

To bring the positioned item back to the correct page, follow these steps:

1. On the View menu, choose Normal or Draft. Turn on Show All by

   choosing the asterisk button on the ribbon.

2. Select the item and its accompanying paragraph mark. From the Edit

   menu, choose Cut.

3. Position the insertion point on the correct page in a location high

   enough above the page break to allow the item to fit on the page.

4. From the Edit menu, choose Paste.

The picture returns to its designated position on the page.
