Celebrate Excellence in Education: Nominate Outstanding Educators by April 15!
How can I put text to the right of an image? My only option seems to be adding text below an image in rich text editor.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Click on the picture, then click on the "Align left" button on the toolbar.
Note that this does not leave any space between your image and the text and so it may look bad. If you want to do add spacing, you'll need to open the HTML editor after you've left aligned it. Then find the img element.
You'll see something like the first line (the ... are an ellipsis). You need to change the style to have some padding, similar to what's shown in the second line.
<img style="float: left;" ... />
<img style="float: left; padding-right: 1em; padding-bottom: 1em;" ... />

This method doesn't work. I have a short section of text that gets spread out--the first line is aligned with the photo, but the next line is below the photo, leaving a huge gap between the two lines.
