Text to right of image

[Techno]

Imagine you have a vertical image of a lift (or elevator) buttons. It is approximately 1 inch wide and 3.75 inches tall, and 9 buttons.

I want to image on the left side of the page, with the text to the right of each button.

The only way I have been able to do this, is by creating a 2 column, 1 line table. However a table is not ideal for blind people who use screen readers.

I seem unable to find any way to change the properties of the image. I can have text above and below, etc., but not to the left or right.

Where stupid mistake(s) am I making?

Have you tried {float: left;} ?

Many thanks for the quick reply.

I will be quite honest, being far from a coder, I normally only go to the editor for very simple corrections. Otherwise it's the WYSIWYG editor.

Since it is possible to deal with text and image vertically, I felt sure I was missing a similar feature for horizontal positioning.

Float left is available from the wysiwyg editor:

• Insert an image
• Type your text
• Right click the image and choose Image Properties > Position, then choose Float Left on the image.
• The text will jump to the right of the image.

You can also add margin to the image in the same Properities pane to buffer the text from the image. You'll need to play with styling your paragraphs to line them up with the image appropriately.

Cheers,
