Re: picture positioning

If you question about "With No Text" is about the Alternate Text for an
image, after inserting, right click the image and select Alternate Text
to adjust the value.

Windows Live Mail lacks the ability that Outlook Express has to
view/edit the HTML source in a message that you are composing. There is
a workaround, but it is nowhere as convenient as in OE.

Compose the message as normal. Insert the desired image in front of the
text that you want to be next to the image.

Then do a File, Save As to an EML file. Close the message (X in the
upper right hand corner).

Open the saved EML file in Notepad.

Locate the IMG tag in the HTML source. It will look something like:

<IMG style=3D"DISPLAY: inline-block; FLOAT: none; MARGIN: 10px 0px 0px;
=
POSITION: static" height=3D267
src=3D"cid:C8F481EF55184FE583C5917093AD4D58@xxxxxx" =
width=3D400 border=3D0>

Change the "FLOAT: none;" to "FLOAT: left;" or "FLOAT: right;" depending
on which side you want the image.

The MARGIN values are in pixels and are in order: Top, Right, Bottom,
Left

"=3D" is a quoted-printable equal sign as used in several of the
parameters.

border=3D0 is a 0 pixel border. Change to border=3D10 for 10 pixels.

Save the EML file, then double click to open in WLM. You can then send
the message. And then the saved EML file can be deleted.

Note: If after opening the saved EML file you make some changes via WLM
and decide that you need to do make further source changes, you will
need to save to a different EML file, as the current one is locked by
WLM and won't let the Save As update it.
