Re: accessible word-wrap in word?

I think we need some clarity and details about this issue.

1. And inline graphic appears in the sentence or paragraph just like a text character does. It follows in-line with the other content. Often this is called an in-line anchored graphic.

2. A floating graphic is anchored too, but the graphic might have the text wrapping around it and the graphic can appear somewhere else on the page. In later versions of Word, you can see the graphic's blue anchor icon in the margin.

3. See https://blogs.office.com/2012/09/19/working-with-images-gets-simpler-in-the-new-word/ for specifics from Microsoft.

Question to the list:

Do even the latest versions of Word still have this problem? That's Word 2016 and Word 360.

(And it's 2016...can't believe we still have this problem!)
