Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

FORMAT POSITION
 
Procedures: <Positioning text or graphic frames>
 
Use the Format Position command to position a
graphic or text in your document. Word recognizes
a graphic or a paragraph of text as an object
contained in a <frame>. You can position a
specified frame anywhere on a page and wrap text
around it.
 
■ Use <layout> view and the File Print Preview
  command to see how the page will print.
 
■ Word is preset to add 1/6 inch (0.167) of space
  between the frame edges and surrounding text.
  You can change this amount by typing a new
  measurement in the Distance From Text box in
  the Position dialog box.
 
■ If you want to position and size a frame and
  then use it in other documents, you can save
  the position and formatting in a <style> and
  then apply the style as needed.
