How do you upload a ws without all the illustrations, boxes etc. changing location and being displaced/scattered or grouped into a mob. Usually, that doesn �t happen, but it did when I tried tp upload a ws, today. The ws is fine, until I upload it and viola! It looks like a storm blew through it. I made sure the font was in �Roman Times � and the borders were not set for �narrow �Am I missing something here? Any help would be great.

Hi freedom4life,
I had the same problem yesterday where my worksheet looked perfectly fine until I uploaded it! I tried several times to upload and re-upload until l I got fed up with it and left it. In the evening, i gave it another try and it worked. So don �t worry, it �s not just you! perhaps if you leave it for a while and get back to it later on, it may work.
Good luck with it!

Hi
To assure the contents won �t move, group them. First click on an image, press Ctrl and keeping it pressed click on all the images in the document.
At the top of word you �ll find "image tools", click on group. All the images will be a single content. Then click on this big image and repeat the process, clicking now on WordArt and text boxes. When everything is "clicked", go to the top again and choose "group".
It �s done and nothing will move again. To change anything after doing this, all you have to do is click on the ws contents and click "ungroup".
My word is in Portuguese but I hope it helps.

If you use a font that is not supported by the other computer it will sometimes cause graphics to move too. There are about five or so fonts that "all" computers support. I don �t remember what they are, but I do remember that "Times New Roman" and "Comic Sans" are on the list. I always try to use these two fonts for worksheets I upload here so that they are compatible with other members computers. |

Hi,
I �d add Verdana, Trebuchet and Arial to the fonts supported for all computers. If you want to use other fonts, try to embbed them in the document (you have this option in the "save" tools. The document will be a little heavier if you choose to embbed only the fonts in the document.
Hope it helps
