wrapping text around a picture in Outlook Express

I would like to create emails in which text wraps around a picture. Is this
possible in Outlook Express, and if so how do I do it? Thanks to anyone who
can answer this.

You code your message in HTML with an HTML editor. (A 'real man' does it
with Notepad ;-)

You need to use HTML format for the message.

Then use Insert, Picture to insert the picture where desired in the
text. Note on the dialog is an Alignment option that lets you specify
where the image does relative to the text.

Using OE, you cannot fully wrap text around a picture as you can in Word.
The best you can get is one line of text starting at the bottom of the
picture.

It -could- be done but it would take jumping throught some hoops with a 3rd
party app and it doesn't work half the time. I don't know why you're
getting such half-answers from these bozos here. Google would give you a
better shot at understanding it.

TY, pop. At least your answer shows you understand the concept of text
wrapping vis a vis text "placement." And your answer also shows you
understand as I do the difference between how Word does allow text wrapping,
whereas OE appears not to. I'm just amazed (but "sigh" not really) that MS
makes their products in a manner that doesn't allow true portability between
apps (Word = OE). I guess I'll just have to give up on OE and look for an
email client that will let me send emails with text-wrapped images.
Hmm--maybe I'll look at Google's g-mail first, since you mention Google.
Thank you for your very on-point response.

Okay, guys, I found the answer to this question. You can, indeed, wrap text
around an inserted picture in OE. Here's how. When you use the
Insert-Picture command, you get a dialog box. After selecting the picture
you want to insert, you set other variables shown in the same dialog box.
down and to the left is a section titled alignment. Clicking on this opens a
menu list of options for where you want your text to appear in relation to
the inserted image. For example, if you choose "Left," the text wraps to the
right of the image. There are lots of other choices. To the right of this
section are two more choices: "Border Thickness" and "Spacing." The numbers
you enter in the both choices are in pixels, although there is nothing that
tells you this. 2 to 3 pixels draws a very nice border around your image.
"Spacing" refers to the distance between your image and the text. 10 pixels
makes a very good choice.

Anyway, the good news is that OE does allow text wrapping around images
inserted into email text.
