In FP2002, How Can I Creast a Text Box to Insert Into a Column of Text; Like Seen in Magazines

A

AA Smith

I would like to create text boxes (containing enlarged text) to insert into
a column of text and have the column text flow around the text box. Worst
casing it, I hope I can at least insert a text box between paragraphs.
FP2002 Help is not particularly helpful on this. I hope there's a way to do
this in FP2002.

I shall greatly appreciate your help with this.

HTML doesn't lend itself to such constructions. You can use HTML or CSS to
create multi-column pages, but having text flow from one column to the next
is just not possible.

Also do use text boxes, as they are implment via VML and do not work in all browsers.

To insert a text box separating paragraphs in a column, insert a <div>
where the box is to go, and style the border for the div.
example:

.....previous paragraph...</p>
<div style="border: solid red 2px;">
This is text contained in a text box
</div>
<p>next paragraph......

Vertically, that works fine. Horizontally, like columns in a newspaper is
much more involved.
