Hello, I'm laying out a page with a newspaper article on it. I have two phot
os

put
the photos in. Because the text needs to resize around the photo, I was hopi
ng
to jump the text from cell to cell like is possible in Quark. Anybody know h
ow
to do this or handle this situation. Thanks!

I don't quite understand your question. Are you putting the text in seperate
cells? If so, you shouldn't be. If you want your article in one straight
column it should be in one single cell. I'm not sure what you mean by "the
text needs to resize around the photo," though. The text will WRAP around
the photos, is that what you mean?

Thanks for your reply. Using your suggestion to put the text and photos in o
ne cell, I just tried to add the photo into the cell that has the text, and 
now the photo won't move!

To where would you like the photo to move? Perhaps you could upload the page
so I  can take a look at it or paste the code into a reply (preferrably the
former rather than the latter).

Thanks, here's the code. I'm unhappy with the lack of alignment options for 
the
photo. I want the top of the photo to be  horizontally flush with the top of
the dateline text.  Maybe I'd be better off in tables or CSS for this task?
Also, I want to add a "home"  link to the home page at the top of the page,
preferably outside the cell. And at the bottom, below the cell, add a "Top"
link. Thanks much!

You added vspace and hspace properties to the images so they will NEVER be
aligned with the datelne text. It's very important to remember that print is
very different from web. Which brings me to my next point:

This code is totally wonky. It looks like you copied it from Word or
something. If you are going to paste text in from somewhere else you MUST
remember to always clean it up when you are done. You should do three
things:

1) Commands > Clean up word HTML
2) Commands > Clean up HTML and be sure to check "specific tags" and type in
"font, span" without the quotes.
3) Commands > Apply source formatting.

And in this page you also need to (in code view) hit Ctrl + F and then
select:

Find in: Current Document
Search: Specific Tag > align
With Attribute align = justify
Action: Remove Attribute > Align

then hit replace all. This will remove all those alignments.

All of these things should be set in the CSS, NOT in the html.

Just because this code was so scary that I couldn't deal with it, I have
cleaned it up for you. You can use this as a guide to what you should be
doing in the future. Note that the layer has been renamed from Layer1 to
"content" and note the styles in the head. Also note that the correct
doctype was added.

I'm not sure why the whole thing is in a layer, but you might want to
rethink that.

Maybe I'd be

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Since there are no cells on this page,
it makes no sense.

here is the correct code:
