Placement of pictures

I have a question... I'm fairly new to FP2002 but have done most of my
HTML in notepad.

One major drawback that I've found is that I can't simply decide where
to put a picture. Here's the scenario:

I look at a web page as just a blank piece of paper. I can change the
background, and arrange some text, but I can't just decide to put a
picture anywhere on the page that I want.

When I create PDF's, I literally can drag a picture to where I want it
to appear within the PDF. I haven't found a way to do so in FP.

If I wanted a picture to appear, lets say, a little further down than
than the middle and to the right, how could I do it? Can this be done
in HTML or must I use a style sheet or something similar?

Thanks!

But an HTML page isn't a blank piece of paper, or a PDF. It's a page in a
language designed to display on lots of different devices and platforms and
browsers.

Some basic knowledge of HTML would be a big help at this point. There are a
lot of free tutorials on the web, and good books available as well.

Of course there are ways to position an image on the page - the most common
are CSS positioning and tables - but these will tend to be frustrating if
you don't know at least basically what the underlying code is doing.
 
FrontPage 2003 has support for dragging and dropping using absolute pixel
locations on the page. This is done by using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets),
which you can certainly use with FrontPage 2000 (2002???), but would not
have the drag and drop capability.
