If you need to do this, you may find it easier to insert the graphic into a text box before doing your positioning. If that is the case, you'll need to change to one of the non-inline graphics options, set the wrapping, and adjust the vertical position manually. The other possible cause is that some graphics cannot, for whatever reason, be positioned as described here. In order to follow the rest of the steps, you'll need to convert it to an inline graphic, as described in other WordTips. First, your graphic may not really be inline. If Word won't display the Font dialog box (step 2), then there are two possible reasons. The value you use will depend on the size of the graphic whose position you are adjusting and the characteristics of the font used in the paragraph. On the ruler, you should see the first-line indent marker move to the right by 1/2 inch.
Place the insertion point at the very beginning of the paragraph you want to indent. This will create a first-line indent of 1/2 inch. You may need to play with the value entered in the By box (step 5) to get just the look you want. A quick way to indent is to use the Tab key. Enter a value in the By box, to the right of the Position control, that represents the number of points by which you want to lower the graphic.Or, click on the horizontal line to make it active, then, drag to change its length and width. Or, right-click on the line and specify its borders and shading. Using the Position drop-down list, choose Lowered. Then, the Format Horizontal Line box will appear and you can modify the width, height, color, and alignment there.The Character Spacing tab of the Font dialog box. Make sure the Character Spacing tab is displayed. Select the inline graphic by clicking on it once.You can change the vertical alignment of an inline graphic by treating it as you would any other single character whose vertical position you wanted to adjust. Word treats inline graphics as a single character. So the solution involves adjusting the vertical positioning of the graphic.
The effect that Robert is noticing is the default behavior for inline graphics, although the cause he cites is backwards-it is actually the graphic that defaults to bottom alignment with the text, not the text with the graphic. He wonders if it is possible to change that so the text is either center- or top-aligned with the graphic. Robert notes that when he places an inline graphic in his document that is taller than a single line of text, the text defaults to being aligned with the bottom of the graphic.
