Positioning An Image

I have an e-newslette page set up with tables. I have placed an image in one
of the tables next to some text and set the picture to be placed right with
vert and horiz margins of 10. There is one line above my photo and I want to
move the photo up so the text bumps/wraps to the next line. I keep trying to
drag it and it doesn't work. I come from a desktop publishing background so I
don't understand why I can't just move the photo where I want it to be and
have the text wrap like I want it to. It's driving me crazy! Why can't you
move pics like that in Front Page? Any ideas on how I can move up my photo so
the text wraps like I want it to? Thanks!

This is what is getting in your way. The web is just not a printed page.

Because that's not how HTML works.

Show us your page, please.
 
Can we see a link to the page?

Frontpage is not a desktop publishing program and simply doesn't work the
same way.

You might need to go to the code or the split code/design view and see if
there's any <br> or <p> tags that are causing the position of the image as
you describe.

Try adjusting the cell alignment to "top" (right click the mouse inside the
table cell, choose "Cell Properties".
 
Assuming that the image and text are in the same cell, you can set the style
of the picture to "float:left" or "float:right" to get the text to wrap
around it.

I have had success in mixing text and pictures by placing the pictures in a
separate cell on the table.
