  6. If you would like your text to wrap around your image, choose "Right" or "Left" in the Alignment selection area in the upper area of the window. Add "5" in the Margin to give your image some breating room or leave it blank to have text push right up to the image. Click "Insert" at bottom of the window. You can then resize the image in the page if you need to make smaller. Be sure to save your page.
