newspapers.

Only if you create a 1 row 2 column table with fixed widths assigned.

How do you get the text to wrap?

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

If you are talking about between columns, you have do it manually. HTML is not like Word or
Publisher, that can auto-flow text between columns.

What I want to do is have a 2 box frame with a picture in the right
box and text in the left box. The problem is when I put text in the
left box it won't drop wrap down a line when it gets too wide for the
column it is in. Any idea's?

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Do not use text box, as they are only supported in IE browsers under Windows, use tables/cells.

What do you mean by "box frame"?
If you are talking about table cells, make sure you haven't specified
no-wrap for the cell.
