Getting images to end up where you want them is quite tricky.  There are basically three methods, and (hint) the final one mentioned on this page - using tables - is the safest!  Still, the other methods have their uses, so here they all are:

One method is to highlight the image and choose Format/Position from the Formatting toolbar.

You can now choose the way you would like text to wrap around your image.  In the Wrapping Style area of the dialogue box, select the option that appeals to you most.

The Positioning Style area allows you to choose

• whether you want your image to 'Float' (that is, sit on the right or left hand margin of the page with text surrounding it),

OR

• whether you would like to position your image independently of anything else on the page (in other words, if you put it in the middle of some text, it will sit on top of the text, which will not move to accommodate it),

OR

• whether you want your image positioned relative to where it first appeared.

If you choose the Text Wrap option, you can modify your image still further by highlighting it, right-clicking and then choosing 'Picture Properties'.

Apart from the alignment options that you can choose here, the Horizontal and  Vertical spacing options on the right of the box allow you to choose how far from the picture you want the text to wrap. (This text is set at 8 pixels from the image... experiment to get the effect that pleases you most.)

If you choose the Position Absolutely option (which you can also do using a button on the Pictures toolbar), you will be able to drag the picture around using the mouse, possibly creating a layered effect. Since many people use browsers that will not 'see' layers, however, this is a technique to use with caution.

A final method is to position the image by putting it in a table.  It is possible to draw an elaborate table that allows you to position text and images relative to each other without your having to `align´ them at all.  This is the method that most FrontPage users prefer, because the objects on the page remain in the same relation to each other notwithstanding the size of the viewer's screen, or which browser is being used.
