FrontPage

FrontPage helps you roll your own Web pages. The tips in this section help you get more out of FrontPage.

Flowing Text Around a Picture

When you place a picture on a Web page you're designing, text appears above it and below it, but not to the right of the graphic or the left. The result? Amateurish pages that have vast empty spaces.

You can instead have FrontPage flow the text around the picture, either to the right or to the left:

1. Right-click the image.

   The Image Properties dialog box appears.

2. Choose Picture Properties.

   Here you can control how the picture will appear on the page. Click the Appearance tab.

3. In the Wrapping style section, choose either Left or Right.

   This choice should be straightforward, but it's actually quite confusing. When you choose left, the text wraps around the right edge of the picture. When you choose right, the text wraps around the left edge.

   The deal is that in the dialog box, left or right refers to where the picture will appear—not the text—as you can see if Figure 5-15.

4. Click OK

   The text now wraps around the picture the way you want.

   

   Figure 5-15. When choosing to wrap text around a picture, you can also add a border to the graphic by choosing a border size from the border thickness drop-down box.
