New Formatting Options in Google Docs with Images and Drawings

 

     
    
           Some very exciting news in Google Docs!!  This is the update that many of us have been waiting for.   There are now additional formatting options available when working with images and drawings in Google Docs.

    You now have the option of formatting images and drawings to go behind or in front of text.  Previously the only options were "In Line", "Wrap Text" or "Break Text".  You will see these new options on the formatting menu when you click on an image or drawing.


    If the 'In front of" or "Behind" formatting option is selected, you will also get more formatting options as to how you want the image to move.  The "Move with text" option will move the image with the text that it is behind of in front of, while the "Fix position on page" option will anchor the image to that location on the page and it will not move.  The position options text will simply open up the formatting options menu in a pane on the right hand of your window.
