Ok, so I should be happy, very happy, I submitted an article on Saturday, last night I get an email, its only going to the typesetters TODAY!!! Arggghhh. All brilliant, all formatted, only minor problem is that I have some graphs in there that I prepared on Word with the data table showing in the body of the graph. Take out the 2nd title, check, format data to 1 decimal place, check - RIGHT JUSTIFY figures - arggghhhh - it won't do it - i don't know how to do it. I can get the data in the accompanying excel file to right justify but it doesn't alter the figures in the word graph. I'm going nuts here, I have to get it back within the next hour or so and I can't do it - can anyone help me out with this PLEASE. I'm using Word 2007 (but its currently in the compatibility mode so more 2003 Word)

Thankyou to anyone who can save my life. Been at this til 3am - now back at it again!

Have you tried 'wrapping' the table around the figure?? *goes to hunt around in word menus*

err, maybe go to 'format object' by right clicking, and then you can say whether the figure is infront/behind/alongside the text. Not sure if that's what you're looking for!?

Thanks Sneaks, that doesn't work, it just alters the title. The design is with the data table showing - that's cool, but it won't right justify the numbers within their columns, it only seems to want to right justify the entire graph! The numbers stay firmly centred and the graph shoots around the page. It seems that there's no way to do it! Utterly crazy - as the editor says - its convention - so why does bloody Word ignore that??

ok, have you tried adjusting the tabs?

I tried everything, then the editor had a go too, then we gave up ;-) He's hoping the typesetter can sort it out - but then there's the 'wrong' type of lines, but Word and Excel won't give me other options - bloody nightmare! But woohoo - omg, if we can sort out 2 poxy graphs I'm going to be published in a matter of weeks!! arrggghhh - so fast - thought it would likely, if accepted, go in the Spring volume, its not, its going in the Autumn one AND he's asked to quote me at an international conference - argghhhh. Exciting stuff, but also rather terrifying as I'm kind of turning some stuff on its head with this - as it is he says its rather ermm dented his new work but confirms something else... oops!

That's fantastic news. I had to wait about a year before my article came out :-(
