Moving Caption

[Guest]

I'm using FrontPage 2003. I have a photo with a caption. I put the photo in a
table and attached a caption (automatically to the top), then told FP to put
the caption at the bottom of the picture. It shows up in the bottom on the
design page and preview page, but when I do a browser preview, it's back at
the top of the picture. Am I supposed to be positioning/anchoring this
caption or grouping somehow?

Also, I am trying to wrap text around this photo/caption grouping. Is this
possible? How? Or, can you only wrap text around the photo itself?

I'm not entirely sure that page answers the OP's question.

IMALX you can wrap text around a picture or table by using "float
left" or "float right", but it won't wrap if the picture or table is
floated to the center.

Regarding the caption and the image in a table cell, have you tried
something like this:

<td>
<img src="...">
<br>
your caption here using CSS styles so it looks like a caption
</td>

The alignment of the contents of the cell will default to "left", so
you may want to experiment with different alignments until it looks
pleasing.

Thanks for the effforts, but I don't know html code well enough to know where
in my html to put the code suggestions you sent. Any other ideas?

In your image editor, add the text of the caption so it becomes part of the
image. Resave the image and reimport, re-insert into the page.

Frontpage makes it easy for beginners to perform certain tasks but it
has its limitations. Luckily it also offers an HTML view which allows
users to see the effect of any changes they make on the code.

By trying to build pages without learning some rudiments of HTML and
CSS along the way you are, believe it or not, making a rod for your
own back.

You might try highlighting the image in Normal view, then changing to
HTML view and studying the highlighted chunk of code. This way, you
will gradually come to recognise which tags do what, and you might
even become brave enough to try a little change to the code itself.
You can always undo it again. There's a lot of satisfaction in
successfully editing the code.
