Resolved Question

Using W7 + SP1, Microsoft Office 2007,

Hello Everyone!

I wish to have text on the page and all around, in the edges/margins I wish to put small icons/gifs/pictures.

I have tried doing it with a Ms. Word document but the other pictures move about when I paste the items on the sides. It also seems very unstable.

I then have a problem typing text, as this seems to disrupt the placement of the items! I tried text first but that would not situate between the items around the edge! (etc, etc!) Or even, is there a way to do this with the Word document?

Could I download any free programme (because I don't expect to have to do this again) that would be able to cope with this.

Thank you for any help.

Snapshot2,

Thank you for your advice.

I have downloaded the programme and had a very quick "play."

It seems to be what I was looking for. I have not checked to see if it is a 'trial' or if I get to keep it.

I do not expect to need it in the future, but if it is ever needed again, and I can keep it, then I shall do so.

Grateful thanks.

Colinito

It is my understanding that it is free forever.
They do offer a larger program with more features, but that one is not free.
