scanned document resizing

[evan]

I have scanned a document into a word document. However
each page that was scanned does not fill the word doc
page and now looks funny with all the blank space. How
do I resize each scanned page so that it fills the word
page that it is on?

thanks evan

Scanned as an image? Change the image layout to 'behind text' and drag the
handles to fill the page.

I scanned the document as a document and then sent it to
Word. We are not sure what you mean by "Change the image
layout to 'behind text' and drag the handles..." As we
can not find a 'behind text' command in Word.

Your image has been inserted in line with text which is why it fills the
space between the margins. Select the image in the document. Right click and
select 'format picture' then from the layout tab set 'behind text'. The drag
handles on the image will change and you can move the image and resize to
fill the available space.

Graham I want to thank you for your help so far. With
your instuctions I was able to reformat the first page of
my document just like I wanted. Now I have a new problem.
and that is reformatting the layout of the rest of the
pages in my document. The problem is in reformatting the
layout the 2nd page it ends up on top of the first page.
So I tried dragging the 2nd page down but the 3rd page
had moved up to the 2nd page spot. When I dragged the 2nd
page down off the first page over the 3rd page both the
2nd and 3rd page ended back up over the first page. So
I'm stuck. what am I doing wrong? Evan

If you're putting a different image on each page, you need to anchor each
image to a separate paragraph, with manual page breaks in between. If you
want the same picture on each page, then you need to anchor it to the header
paragraph.
