How to Place Text Beside Images

I was recently asked how to place text next to a photo in the story editor. Here's an example of what that looks like and then below you can see the step by step instructions.

BEFORE

Yesterday I was driving home from the park where I had just walked my two aging dogs. Cherokee Boulevard was filled with joggers and walkers, perhaps working off the pounds gained during the holidays. There were not many cars on the road so I was able to watch the people while driving slowly. 

Rounding a small bend I came to a stop to let a lady and her dog cross the street. The dog was obviously old. I could tell by the way he lumbered from side to side just to keep moving. While passing by I couldn't help but roll down the passenger side window to acknowledge to the lady that I sympathized with her. "I have a one too in the back seat", I said, referring to Bob, my 13 year old deaf and blind hound. She smiled and continued walking as if she knew exactly what I meant even though I never mentioned his age.

STEP ONE

Right click on the photo the select Image Properties

 

STEP TWO

Select "left or right" depending if you want the photo to the left or right of the text. Then click OK

 

STEP THREE

Make space between photo and text by repeating step one, then adding a number to the HSpace field such as 2,3 or 4, etc.

 

FINAL RESULTS

Thanks for the instruction. Maybe I'll give it a try.
