MICROSOFT WORD SHORTCUTS
Main Document Mailing List Merged Document
Mail Merged involved the following documents:
Behind Text
This allows your image to be dragged and placed anywhere on your document but with all text floating in front of it.
Tight
This is almost the same as the square setting, but here the text "hugs" to the general shape of the image.
Square
This setting allows the image you inserted to be placed anywhere within the paragraph with the text going around the image in a square pattern like a frame.
Through
This setting allows the text on your document to flow even tighter, taking the contour and shape of the image.
In Front of Text
This setting allows your image to be placed right on top of the text as if your image was dropped right on it.
Press "Windows Logo" + R then type "winword" then enter.
