Table not wrapping in Contribute 3

gwm224 · gwm224

I have inserted a table on a page and would like the text to wrap around the
table. I went into the table properties and set the horizontal alignment to
"right", but the text does not wrap around the table. I can easily do this in
DreamWeaver, but I wanted to show some of my content managers how easy this was
to do in Contribute and now I am baffled as to why it is not working. Anyone
have a clue?

I have all the current patches for Contribute 3. I am currently at version
3.11.

I think you can set this up using css.
You create a stylesheet especially for your users (or include the style in the
editable head section of the page). You will have to include this style sheet
in the head of your pages, to make Contribute recognize the styles.
In the admin section of Contribute you set up the Styles section so that the
users can see the styles from this particular css file.
Make a class that makes the table float.

<style type="text/css">
.floating_table {
float:left;
margin:0 10px 10px 0;
}
</style>

users can now select the class from the toolbar, and it floats (see attached
code created in Contribute).
