Tips for Keeping Graphics in Place with Microsoft Word 2003

I'm still using Word 2003 to write most of my posts, which I then copy and paste into Active Rain.  I then add graphics and photos after the copy/paste routine and usually find the process of keeping the photos or graphics in place somewhat frustrating.  Unfortunately these instructions won't help with AR but it will solve the problem for just a regular Word document. 

If you are creating a Word document in Microsoft Word 2003, the steps for keeping everything in place is fairly simple. 

Here are the instructions for keeping your graphics or photos in one specific place so that they are not wandering or floating around your page as you add additional text.

Say, as an example, you want your logo to always stay in the upper left hand corner.

1. click and drag your image to where you want it
2. with the image selected, go to the Format menu in Word and select the type of object you are working with
3. click on the layout box in the resulting tab
4. You can now select how you want your text to wrap around the image
5. next, click on the Advanced button, select the picture position tab and remove checkmarks from the boxes next to "move object with text" and "lock anchor"
6. click OK

 I don't know if the works with Microsoft Word 2007, but I guess that the steps are essentially the same.

If anyone has figured out how to accomplish the same thing in an Active Rain post, please share!
