    Default Need help understanding placement of images and text

    I am a beginner with contribute and as such contributing to our website with
    text and images. I may be missing something, but am having a frustrating time
    of including and arranging images on a page. It appears that the "drag and
    drop" capability is very limited. I am having to use spacebar, enter key,
    image alignment, resizing, and padding to arrange pictures. Production is at a
    crawl..need quidance quick!
    The following link is to our website...I am attempting to create a gallery of
    projects with each project having its own page of text and images. A temporary
    link to them is found at the bottom of Services page. I appreciate a pointing
    in the right direction.

    You could use a table (main menu, Insert, Table).

    The use of Tables was a success. Thanks ThinkInk! I was and may still be
    underestimating what tables are for and can do. They significantly improved the
    ease of publishing images. I imagine that there is a limit as to what I will
    be able to do with them and that our company may need to be considering
    additional software such as Dreamweaver for more layout options. Any thoughts?

    Glad that worked out fine.
    Dreamweaver is a development tool with lots of possibility. But purchasing
    this is an investment of course. But adding galleries and stuf like that will
    be easier to accomplish. Alternative is to open the page souirce of Contribute
    pages in an external app. and dive into the source and adjust that tom your
    needs.
    You can allways download a trial of Dreamweaver an try it out.

    Not altogether sure what you are saying ThinkInk. I think you are saying to
    use an external editor (app) such as Word to create the layout and then
    publish. I will experiment with this and thanks again.

    No, That is not what I ment...
    You can (with proper rights given by the administrator) edit the page source
    in Contribute:
    1. in the main menu go to File, Actions
    2. click Edit Page Source in External Application
    3. In the page source you are able to add code for a gallerie
