Good evening,
I have created a landscape document in Word, with images that I have moved around somewhat thanks to the wrapping to achieve the document I want (over three pages).
I am now going to save the document as a PDF to avoid any possible changes. And when I open it to see the result, one of the three images on the second page has shifted to the right side of the page..... it drives me crazy, as I don't know much about Word, and I'm sure it's a silly mistake to have the solution, but I can't manage to figure it out, and I'm getting frustrated for no reason xD
Can you help me?
Thank you

Hello,
No, it's not "dumb as a doorknob" (poor moon! ;))
The wrapping of images, contrary to what a good part of the users think, is not that simple and poses many problems. That's why I always advise not to do any wrapping unless it is absolutely necessary.
If it is essential, you should try the different methods for saving as PDF, especially Print and choose a PDF printer like "Microsoft Print to PDF".
You can also juggle with a table. Tables are much more stable than wrapping.

Hello,
It's not necessarily essential, but it's quick and easy to do, since I'm not very proficient with Word.
I tried to print to PDF, but that didn't work either...
In any case, it's stressing me out; I can't even send it in docx format, it's not recognized u_U
I don't know how to proceed...
Edit: It's all good, as I said, it was a silly solution; I just hadn't thought of it before.... I had three images on my landscape page that were shifting when I saved as PDF. So, I went through Paint, I combined my three separate images into one, which I put back on my Word document, and lo and behold, that damned software decided to save it correctly, finally!
Thanks for the help!
