19:51:00 <Glenn> Get it in OK?
19:52:00 <MaLiNa> i selected wordart and placed it in the bos
19:52:00 <MaLiNa> so im seeing if its worked
19:52:00 <Glenn> ok
19:52:00 <MaLiNa> it didnt work
19:52:00 <MaLiNa> it dissapears when i do print preview
19:52:00 <MaLiNa> or print it even
19:53:00 <Glenn> ...mmmmm..
19:54:00 <Glenn> Plan 'B': Print the document leaving approriate space for picture... print the picture. Cut and Paste picture into appropriate place. If "electronic" copy is required, fax to recipient!
19:54:00 <MaLiNa> lol
19:55:00 <MaLiNa> do u have any other suggestions?
19:55:00 <MaLiNa> is there a setting?
19:55:00 <Glenn> Inserting a picture into a text box IS the correct way to include pictures so that they both rmain where you last saw them AND print later!
19:56:00 <MaLiNa> so i make text box
19:56:00 <MaLiNa> select insert - wordart and it should b A ok?
19:56:00 <Glenn> You can insert anything into a text box...
19:57:00 <MaLiNa> ok
19:57:00 <Glenn> ....either "Clip Art" or "From File..." and the latter is the anything! I have one here with sound!
19:58:00 <MaLiNa> k
19:59:00 <MaLiNa> wot do u mean from file
19:59:00 <MaLiNa> wot do i look for?
19:59:00 <Glenn> I'll send if you like... I wrote the page for a New Zealand friend :))
19:59:00 <MaLiNa> ok plz
20:00:00 <Glenn> The "From File..." option allows you to select anything you then select from the file/directery menu that appears...
20:01:00 <MaLiNa> cool name
20:01:00 <MaLiNa> lol
20:02:00 <Glenn> Yeah... New Zealanders are sensitive ppl's... especially about sheeps!
20:05:00 <MaLiNa> lol
20:05:00 <Glenn> Anyway... it remains an example of pictures and sounds inserted into a document using text boxes...
