Word 2013 - Screenshot of FIND button appears too high

Hi everyone,

I am composing some user instructions that include the following fragment:

,User generated image
I cannot get the picture of the FIND button to align (vertically) with the text.  I took the screenshot with the Windows 8.1 Snipping Tool.

Is there a way to align properly?

As an alternative, maybe I'm being too picky.  Does the above text look presentable even with the misalignment?

Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,

You need some decent image editing software. I used PaperPort to create this fixed version:

User generated image
I did three things to your original image:

moved FIND down
moved line 11. up so that it's right under 10.b.
left a little extra space under 12. so that it's similar to the space at the top of 10.

I should note that I use PaperPort primarily for document imaging, not photo imaging, but it does have some decent capability for the latter. Regards, Joe

When I created the image, it did not contain surrounding whitespace.

How can I determine what Text Wrapping setting I'm using?

Thanks

OK, when I chose BEHIND TEXT (or maybe it was IN FRONT OF TEXT) I see the following, and am not sure how to proceed:

Joe and Graham, Thank you both. The FIND button is now placed correctly. :)

Graham- I gave you some assisted points. Even though I did not try out your detailed sol'n in your last post, you deserve kudos b/c of how you helped Joe arrive at my solution.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Steve,
As always, happy to help. And my thanks, too, to Graham. Regards, Joe
Thanks. From the way that Word is intended to work, in this instance, it would be far better to format the picture as InlIne with text. That way, if there are any changes to the text, page layout, font format etc., the image will follow the correct position in the text.
Point taken, Graham. At this point, though, I'm going to leave it be. It's a writing sample for a job application so I don't see it being a doc that's going to change. :)
