Word Document into Web Page

I wrote a story with photos and tables in a Word Document (55 pages). The person I sent it to to put on our alumn web site wrote: : I'm working on converting your word document into a webpage. I'm having a little trouble with line spacing and centering photos and photo descriptions. Unfortunately, word documents don't always convert nicely into webpages.

The problem I'm having converting your word doc into webpage is called "Text Wrapping.: If you can remove "Text Wrapping" from descriptions of your photos, then the problem will be solved."

I have absolutely no idea what he's talking about. Can anyone offer any suggestion that perhaps I can understand and do, or at least send to the web master to help him convert my document. (It is the story of a deceased Navy Vietnam hero who went to school with us and died very young (53) of Agent Orange). I am a retired Marine. Many thanks. Semper Fi, GFM

Hi MustangOne,

Welcome to WW. Presumably you've sent the Word document to the other party to make your page, so I'm not sure why they can't themselves format the wrapping to suit.

Anyhow, what version of Word are you using? For 2000 you can right-click on the photo, choose 'Format Picture', click on the 'Layout' tab and then you'll be presented with the text wrapping details. Clicking on the 'Advanced' button brings up further text options to work with. It'll be something similar with other versions, I'm sure.

I'm not sure if this will fix what he's specifically referring to (it's hard to tell without seeing the problem), but it should give you a starting point until other folk chime in.

Good luck.
