New Web designers are often frustrated by how difficult it can be simply to place a picture where they want on a Web page. Generally, aligning pictures with text is most accurately accomplished using a layout table. However, when you want to insert a picture in the same line as text, you have some control over how the picture aligns with that text in FrontPage. Follow these steps: In the page, double-click the picture. The Picture Properties dialog box appears with the Appearance tab visible. In the dialog box's Layout area, choose an option from the Alignment list box.
Left: Places the picture in the left margin and wraps surrounding text around the right side of the picture. (This is the default setting.) Right: Places the picture in the right margin and wraps surrounding text around the left side of the picture. (Figure 6-3 illustrates both the Left and Right alignment options.) Top: Aligns the top of the picture with the text. Texttop: Aligns the top of the picture with the top of the tallest text in the line. Middle: Aligns the middle of the picture with the text. Absmiddle: Aligns the middle of the picture with the middle of the tallest text in the line. Baseline: Aligns the picture with the text baseline. The baseline is the invisible line that the page's text sits on, something like the lines on a piece of notebook paper. Bottom: Aligns the bottom of the picture with the text. Absbottom: Aligns the picture with the bottom of the text in the line. Center: Works just like the Middle option.
Click OK. The dialog box closes, and the picture alignment changes accordingly.
If you use the Left or Right option to align a picture, adjacent text flows, or wraps, around the picture. You can control the amount of text that wraps around the picture by inserting a line break where you want the wrapping to stop. A line break creates a new, blank line and moves all the text following the line break beneath the picture.
