Can a label be attached to a floating slide (Figure 1.2.3 1. Donau (1868), Michael J. Anuta, 1983. Ships of Our Ancestors. 1983. Mnominee, Michigan.) and stick better than Woed 2003? TIA JP

Picture positioning in word is so badly designed and buggy it's very nearly unusable. (I fully understand the floating vs. move with text distinction.) The design is poor, but if it at least worked as designed there would be workarounds. But it doesn't. Sigh

Theresa, I don't envy you the job of trying to support a 25-year-old ball of dead code. I understand that whoever wrote it is probably dead or at least retired, and nobody at Microsoft understands it any more. I also understand that with 90% market share and locked-in customers, it's hard to justify investing engineering resources to fix or improve it. So, it's never going to be fixed, and both of us just have to live with that. The only thing worse than being forced to support this mess is being forced to use it.

When I click on the links in this article, the first two work OK, but the third one ("my previous post") doesn't. That link initially displays the page for a fraction of a second, and then it is replaced by a SkyDrive page containing this error message:
