Insert Image - Inline

When I insert an image into an email message, I am wanting to align it to
the right margin without the text on the left shifting down the page. Does
anyone know how I can do this in WLM? Thanks :-)

It's possible, if you want to do some back door HTML editing.

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.

Save the EML file, then double click to open in WLM. The text will be
wrapped as you wanted. You can then send the message. And then the
saved EML file can be deleted.

The same technique can be used to add custom HTML code. If you edit the
text in the HTML portion of the message, WLM will automatically update
the plain text portion when you send the message.

Thank you for that info. So does WLM not do all this for me automatically
like Outlook Express? I hope it does otherwise I'll have to go back to
O.E.

With OE, the Insert Picture dialog has an Align option. That appears to
be missing in WLM. If it is there somewhere, I can't find it.

On the other hand, WLM does add the option to easily resize or rotate
inline images. In OE you'd have to edit the HTML to do that.

Also missing in WLM is the Source tab which in OE allows you to edit the
HTML source. For WLM the workaround is the Save As to EML file
procedure that I outlined.

WLM does add a few new HTML features including Emoticons, Highlight and
Background colors. Things that could be done manually in OE but are
easier to do in WLM.
