Wrap Text

[Bill M.]

I can't get text to wrap aroung a graphic if I put a caption under it. FP
2003 keeps inserting a blank line between the 1st and 2nd row of text. Any
ideas?

 

[Murray]

Can you show me your code, please?

Sure and thanks. Murray, this is new to me so if you need someting in
addition, please ask.

</font></span></p>
<div align="right">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse: collapse"
width="10" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" align="right" cellspacing="3" id="table2">
<tr>
<td><font face="Arial" size="2">
<img border="0" src="Exterior.gif" width="256"
height="360"></font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p align="right"><font size="2" face="Arial">Where
new friends become old ones</font></p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<p class="MsoBodyText3"><span style="font-family:Arial">
<font size="2">&nbsp;

 

[Murray]

So, I'm not quite sure what you are wanting here. Do you want that "Where
new friends" line to wrap to the side of the image?

 

[Bill M.]

No. That is the caption under the graphic. You can tell I'm confused and
don't know html. Should I copy all the code and send it? I didn't before
because it's a lot of text.

 

[Murray]

Just post a link to the page if it's on the web. If it's not, then paste it
into a reply. And tell me exactly what you want to accomplish, please.

 

[Bill M.]

Murray, I've seen lots of pages where the text flows around the graphic,
whether the graphic is left or right on the page and I can do that in FP.
Once I add a 2nd table below the 1st one to hold the text though, FP puts
some sort of spacing between the lines of text that should flow around the
graphic and 2nd table holding the text just below.

Here is one example below:

One type goes to the customer and the other type has to entice the
customer to come to </span></p>
<div align="right">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse: collapse"
width="100" align="right" id="table1">
<tr>
<td>
<img border="0" src="images/Exterior.gif" width="207"
height="164"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><font size="2">We're open for browsing every day</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<p align="left"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">
them. Both have common characteristics; each has highly skilled and
trained personnel. To</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY:
Arial">&nbsp;most
customers, the people doing the work <i>are the company</i>.

Thanks for your help.

Here's how text flows around an image -

<p><img src="foo.gif" width="100" height="100" style="float:left">Now is the
time for all good men to come to the aid of the party. Now is the time for
all good men to come to the aid of the party. Now is the time for all good
men to come to the aid of the party. Now is the time for all good men to
come to the aid of the party. Now is the time for all good men to come to
the aid of the party. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid
of the party. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the
party. </p>

The image will float to the left of the text, which will be aligned to the
right of the image until it can spill below it.

By placing the image in one table, and the text in another, you lose that
capability.

Try some variation of this markup (which could all go into a single table
cell -

<p>
<div style="float:right; width:207px;"><img border="0"
src="images/Exterior.gif" width="207"
height="164"><font size="2"><br>
We're open for browsing every day</font></div>
<span>One type goes to the customer and the other type has to entice the
customer to come to </span> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY:
Arial"> them. Both have common characteristics; each has highly skilled and
trained personnel. To </spanmost customers, the people doing the work <i>are
the company</i>.</p>

Well at least I know I can't flow text aroung two tables. Using the caption
command doesn't seem to work either. Oh well...

 

[Andrew Murray]

a link to the problem page would be better, showing what it is doing (the
thing you *don't* want it doing).

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

You could nest the two tables in a single 1 cell/row table which could then have text wrapped around
it.

Sorry Tom, I couldn't get that to work either.

My solution works, for what that's worth.

Did you try the other method at the link I posted a few days ago?
