How to wrap text around an image

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

1. Log in to your web office and open the article containing the image in the editor.
2. Right-click the image and choose Image Properties. (Double-clicking usually works too, but if the image has a link on it you’ll get the link dialog instead.)
3. 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.
4. Click ‘OK’, check the article in the editor, and save.

Good to know

• There are only three choices in that dropdown: ‘Left’, ‘Right’ and ‘<not set>’. The last one is the default, and it’s what you want if you’d rather the text didn’t wrap, so to undo a wrap, set the alignment back to ‘<not set>’.
• 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.
