If your text isn’t sitting neatly beside an image, the image just needs an alignment. One setting in the image properties and the text wraps around it.
Aligning an image
-
Log in to your web office and open the article containing the image in the editor.
-
Double-click the image. The Image Properties dialog opens.
-
In the ‘Alignment’ dropdown, choose ‘Left’ or ‘Right’. Left puts the image on the left with text wrapping down its right side; right does the opposite. The small preview shows how it will look. Ignore the other options in the list; they’re older settings that rarely do what you want.
-
Click ‘OK’, check the article in the editor, and save.
Good to know
-
Wrapped text works best when the image is set to less than full width; around 40–50% leaves a comfortable column of text beside it.
-
On phones, the layout stacks so the image and text sit one above the other, which is exactly what you want on a narrow screen.
