What can I check for if the anchor won't move? I drag and drop it where I want it and it pops back to where it was. I tried creating a new paragraph above where I wanted it and it moved to the paragraph I wanted but as soon as I deleted the extraneous paragraph, the anchor pops back in the wrong place! MOST of my images are inline, but I need these handful as floating (but "Move with Text") and I want them all positioned the same, of course. But when the anchor doesn't behave, I have to eyeball positioning for the ones that don't behave... HELP!! (Using 2013, btw)
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.
