How to Format An Image with Text on a Page

[denise_kreiger]

On a Canvas "Page," how do you format, align, etc., an "image" with text on a page? I've tried using a Table on the page (e.g., image in left cell and text on right cell in one row) but I can't seem to control the size of each cell (I want the image cell to be smaller than the text cell), unless I go in and manually change HTML. The Table editor is limited.

I've also tried putting the image on a page (not table) and text on the right - but the text starts in the middle of the image - not aligned with the top of the image.

There doesn't seem to be an "image" editor on a Canvas Page so I can format it using an editor (top, bottom, wraparound text, spacing, size, etc.).

There also doesn't seem to be a way to "undo" actions as you would normally find on a Text editor.

Thanks for your thoughts.

 @denise_kreiger , I would not attempt to do this with tables. Have you had a look at How to wrap text around an image using the Rich Content Editor​?

Thanks, Stephanie! Adding the HTML code worked fine and did the job!

Hi Denise and Stefanie,

Can you paste the code you are talking about?

Thanks Stefanie! It took me a while to get the swing of it, but now I know how to use the code.
