Microsoft Word 97 for Windows allows the insertion of Pictures as either "Inline" or "Floating." Inline pictures are positioned directly in the text at the insertion point. Floating pictures are inserted in the drawing layer so you can position them precisely on the page or in front of or behind text or other objects.
Word 97 also provides more control of picture attributes. Examples are Image Control, Contrast, Brightness, Fill Color, Scaling, and Cropping.
Certain attributes are not saved to Inline pictures if Fast Saves is enabled. If Fast Saves is disabled, then Word 97 correctly saves changes to Inline pictures.
Word 97 correctly saves all changes to floating pictures.
