This might be a very easy question for you to answer, but I have been struggling with it.

My goal is to have text wrap-around some images.  I believe that the way to do so was discussed here: Text Wrapping Around Images - Forum openElement

However, my struggle is to actually get the image INTO the multi-line text box.

When I select a placed image and attempt to drag it into the text box, the image either moves around the outside of the box (left-right-top-bottom), or snaps back.

When I tried to move the image in to the text box using the Element Explorer, the results are similar.

Can you help me to get an image INTO a text box?  Specifics would be appreciated.

Why not to set the image somewhere it is convenient.
And place the MultiLineTextBox(es) close to it.
As simple as that. :-)

Create your text block

Then follow these steps:

  1. Click in the text block where you want to place
  2. Click on the image icon in the menu bar
  3. Select image
  4. Select Alignement
  5. Select float
  6. Add alternate text
  7. Add any css code to configure the image such as margin all around the image

Thank you for the very detailed instructions.  Your solution worked great.  I was going about it the wrong way by first adding the image, then trying to move it into the text box.

Now my next issue... After I placed the image into the multi-line text box, I wanted to go back and change some parameters of the image.  However, I could not find the image in Element Explorer.  I expanded all of the menus in that multi-line text box, but can't find the image there.

When I click on the image itself, although it is highlighted in blue, I can't edit it.  I'm sure it's something simple, but could you again assist me?  How do I edit the image once it's placed?

Click or double click on the picture once it is selected, just hit the delete button

Thank you for that.  The delete worked.

I assume that I am not able to change the properties of the image (like alignment, float, etc) after it's placed.  My only option is to delete the image and start over.  Correct?
