When you’re used to using programs like InDesign and being able to position things to within 0.3 nanometers, it’s frustrating to then use Microsoft Word and lay out pages with all the elegance of a drugged wildebeest in high heels.
So. I wrote these little scripts in Visual Basic — I know, weird, huh? — and they let you set the position of the left and top edges of the graphic you’ve got selected.
Warning: you have to be geeky to even get these to work, let alone to use them, but they might help out someone tasked with the unhappy task of making a Word document look good.
