yess Posts: 3 Joined: 12/10/2005 Status: offline	wrap text around a picture? - 12/10/2005 1:51:15 How can I wrap text around a picture? Heres a sample of a website that has pictures and the text around it. I would like to do something similar. http://www.coversearch.com/heater/forced_air_heaters.htm When I try to insert the picture in the cell/box the text comes out looking funny. Can anyone help? Thanks so much! Yess p.s Im new to Frontpage :)

Place the picture just before the paragraph you want to wrap around. Then double click on the picture to bring up the Picture Properties box. The first tab is called "Appearance" and has wrapping styles near the top. Choose Left or Right then give it a few pixels of Horizontal Spacing (to distance it from the text) and click OK and you are done! _____________________________ Kitka It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.

The easy way for me was to place the picture before the first letter on each paragraph and then, with the picture highlighted, click the left, right or center justification button on the toolbar (as you would normally do to justify a paragraph of text.... This justifies the picture, the text automatically flows around it. Is this essentially what you said Kitka? lol (in reply to Kitka)

Trouble is, to add the necessary padding to keep the text from abutting the picture too closely, you still need to open the Picture Properties box. So you might as well do everything all in one place. Especially as in the next tab of the properties box called "General" there is the place for adding Text for the essential "alt" attribute. How do you normally add alt text to a pic? _____________________________ Kitka It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious. (in reply to Rocket Boy)

I wll now apologise to those who have images disabled and flog myself with a cat-o-nine-tails for half an hour as punishment. (in reply to Kitka)

I do, but I doubt that yess will. S/he indicated being new to FrontPage and newbies are rarely comfortable even looking under the hood at the html code, let alone editing it.
