I am using FP 2003 w/ XP Pro. When I insert a picture into a FP page and
then put a textbox below it to contain a description (ie, "June and Sam at
the beach") it looks great. But if the browser page width is resized, the
textbox moves out of alignment with respect to the picture.

Question: Isn't there some way to 'group' the textbox with the picture?
(so that they move together)

Click to expand...

you could try: "Insert" - "Layer",
draw the new layer box ~ then try Typing in the 'box'. you can
resize it, move and position it ~ your text will remain within the
layer.
 
Thanks for the reply. Yes, tables will do the trick but I am perplexed as to
why a simpler function of 'grouping' images with textboxes is not possible.
It would be both slick and easy if it was. Oh well, maybe the next version.
Looks like it is a 'feature' in 2003 8-)
 
I am curious as to why using tables is not simple. Don't take the question
personally. I am just curious. I remember when I first started making web
pages that had thumbnail images with captions under them and I fought the
same thing until I became familiar with using tables. I thought I'd been
given a new toy!!
