Laying out text around an image

Ordinarily, you can lay out only a single
line text beside an image. However, you can
change this setting and lay out several lines
of text beside an image to make it into a
natural layout. Then you should probably
increase the spacing of the image to improve
its appearance.

When you type text beside an image, you see
that only a single line of text is laid out
beside the image. The other lines are below
the image.

To flow text to the left or right of an image:
- Click the target image using the right mouse
button, and select Attributes from the pop-up menu to display the Attribute dialog box.
- Select the Left or Right check box next to Text Flow, and click the OK button.

If you selected the Left check box, text flows on the right side
of the image.

If you selected the Right check box, text flows on the left side of
the image.

- To end text flow in the middle of the text,
press and hold the Ctrl key and press the Enter key at the point where you want to end the
flow.
- If you selected the Left check box, select Move Vertically Down to a Clear Left Margin on the Line Break dialog box. If you selected the Right check box, select Move Vertically Down to a Clear Right Margin.

- Press the OK button. The text flow ends at the point
you specified.

Tip |
You can also flow text between two images.
In this case, to end text flow in the middle
of the text, select Move Vertically Down Until Both Margins Are
Clear on the Line Break dialog box. |
Adding the suitable space around the image gives it a neat appearance.
- Click the target image using the right mouse
button and select Attributes from the pop-up menu to display the Attribute dialog box.
- Type the number of pixels in the fields beside
Horizontal and Vertical of Spacing. (Horizontal means to the left and right of an image
and vertical means to the top and bottom of an image).
The larger the numerical value, the greater
the spacing.
- Click the OK button to increase the space around the
image.
