text overlapping image that has a float-right property

Post by liz0308 »

Hi everyone,
I'm creating a WebHelp that includes a PDF output but am running into an issue with some images. The paragraphs are set to have an auto-width and there's one image that I'd like to float to the right of the text (essentially paragraph on left and image on right). I set the image to have a float-right property and added both padding-left and a margin-left. However, the paragraph gets placed on top of the image. In the WebHelp output, it appears fine (text on left, image on right with the wrapping). But I can't get it to work in the PDF output. Any suggestions? I don't think it's the width: auto setting in the paragraph style because this is set for numbered lists as well and if I put the image to the right of the list, it outputs fine in WebHelp and PDF.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

i don't think float properties work in print output (if it does for some, not consistently).
can you make a 2-column table instead? it could have a print-only condition if you want to keep the float for online help.
