Hi all

I give up! How do I set a picture to go behind text using VB? It doesn’t
seem to be one of the WrapFormat.Type constants. Z-Order doesn’t seem to work
either.

Many thanks

David

If the picture is in line with the text it is an "InlineShape" - if ithas
any other type of wrapping, it is a Shape. It sounds like you have an
inlineshape, so you need to convert it ...

[YourPicture].ConvertToShape

You should then be able to use WrapFormat, etc.

Hi Tony

Thank you for your reply. Currently the picture is sitting on top of the
text, so it is not inline. I just need to be able to set it behind the text!

Any tips?

Cheers

David

[Shape].ZOrder msoSendBehindText

Tony

That works perfectly! I didn't spot that in the IntelliSense list.

Thank you
