How do I wrap text around an image?

If your text doesn't wrap neatly around your image it'll be because your image needs to be aligned to the 'left' or the 'right'.

Once you've added some alignment to your image the text in the article will wrap neatly around it.

Aligning an image

 

You can add alignment to your image in the "image properties" window as follows:

  • In the Web Office, select the article containing your image so it opens in the document editor.
  • Click on the image to select it.
  • Next open the "image properties" window by selecting the addimage add image option from the document editor toolbar, a new window should open titled "image propeties"
  • Select an option from the align selection list. Selecting 'left' will move your image to the left-hand side of the page so your text wraps around the right-hand side of it. Selecting 'right' will do the opposite. The small preview box in the image properties window will give you an idea of how it will look.
  • Click OK to commit your changes. You will be returned to the document editor where you can view how the article will be displayed before saving your changes.

When editing an image in the Web Office you can enter a caption (the screen where you can also edit the dimensions). The caption only displays if you add a thumbnail version of the image that links to the full version i.e.use this button ThumbnailLink.gif when adding the image.

To add a caption beneath the image within an article you'd simply need to add some text beneath it, adding the image to a table would help you place the caption beneath the image.
