Text alignment
-
Please help. I have a problem that is now taking hours of my time. I have inserted images exactly where I want them to be, which is fine. The problem is that I have wrapped the text around it but I actually need the text to be aligned (like a tab in microsoft word) next to the image. I don’t want it all around the picture, just sitting right next to it. Please help, I’m going mad. It looks extremely unprofessional as is.
Here is what it looks like:

The alignment icons in the WordPress editor are for aligning text; they are not for aligning images. They are used to achieve wrapping text around images on either the right or left hand side, or to display an image that’s centered without text on either side of it.
Align-left means position left, with the rest of the content wrapping around the right side of the image.
Align-right means position right, with the rest of the content wrapping around the left side of the image.
Align-center means position center, with no wrap-around (= the rest of the content below the image).
If the text beside the images does not occupy the same amount of space that the image beside it does then the text wrapping will continue and the images and text that follow will have a staggered appearance.
To prevent the staggered effect what you do is insert the following snippet of code into the Text (HTML) editor after each image/text pair:
<div style="clear:both;"></div> -
Thank you Time Thief. I can’t seem to find where the image/text pairs are located in the html editor. Please forgive me, I’m a newbie with code and really nervous of using it. I understand text alignment, but I don’t want that staggered appearance. The text must align next to the picture. If this is the code for both the image and paragraph, where do I insert that snippet of code?

<p style=”text-align:left;”>Creating content for your website, book or other publication is an integral aspect of your business, but it devours time. The truth is that we are not all wordsmiths and should rather focus on doing what we are good at; this is the source of our income. Brimming with ideas, unable to put them into words or too busy to write, these are some good reasons to hire a ghost writer. Professional, researched, structured, engaging and reader-friendly content is essential to quality and requires writing expertise.</p>
