The latest MSWord is really terrible. I use a tight word wrap and then edit the wrap points. Even though there is an option to "Send to back: Send behind text", the image always sits on top of the text. How do I fix this?

If you are using Word 2007. In order to move the object you have to go to the right where is says Find, Replace and Select. Click on select, then click select object and move your object where ever you would like. You have to click it back off or on to use text again or to move object again. I hope this helps someone. It took me a long time to figure out.

I came here to find out how to "catch" an image after you assigned it's Wrap Text as Behinde Text, but I wasn't lucky enough to find the answer. I was trying on word while I'm searching the net and finally I Fugger out the answer by my self, and here its in Word 2010:
1) Go to the tab of Page Layout
2) Click on "Selection Pane" on the top right of the screen
3) A list of the pictures will show up
4) You can click on the desired picture and then do what ever you want, re-size it, move it or delete it.
Best Regards,

Got a version of Word that uses the menu interface (Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, or Word 2003)? This site is for you! If you use a later version of Word, visit our WordTips site focusing on the ribbon interface.
