How to align text to flow around an image
Designers often want to have text flow around images on the page. If alignment is not set properly, however, the text can appear on top of or below the images. To create this flowing alignment, you will set the alignment for the image, not the text. The steps below show how to align text to flow to the left side of the image.
Aligning text to flow on the side of an image
Select an image in the Document window. The Property inspector will change to the image Property inspector.
On the Property inspector, click the Align pop-up menu and select Right. (The Align pop-up menu is in the upper-right corner of the Property inspector.)
Click in the Document window on the right side of the image. Type some text. The text will flow from the top of the image and down the image's left side.
View the HTML source code in Code view to see how the align tag appears inside the image tag, as illustrated below:
