Word doc: Getting text to fill gap above image

[Daih]

Hi,

I've got a large picture in my Word doc which doesn't need to be precisely in the right place in the text, it just needs to be as high as possible but below the sentence that refers to it. Word starts a new page for it (page P) because of its size, but that leaves the bottom half of page P-1 blank. I want some of the text from page P+1 to move up to page P-1 to fill in the gap.

Here's what I've got:

---------- Page break ----------
Rabbits look cute.
<undesirable gap>
---------- Page break ----------
<Picture of rabbits.>
---------- Page break ----------
On a different subject, blah blah.
Waffle waffle waffle.
More stuff.

Here's what I'd like:

---------- Page break ----------
Rabbits look cute.
On a different subject, blah blah.
Waffle waffle waffle.
---------- Page break ----------
<Picture of rabbits.>
---------- Page break ----------
More stuff.

If I add or remove text higher up in the document, I want Word to re-arrange the text around the picture so there is never a gap.

Can the picture can be formatted to behave like this?
Many thanks!
Daih

Is your picture an InLine object? Change the picture layout to SQUARE or TIGHT. Then the text should flow around it.
