Thanks for this suggestion. Adjusting the right hand margin works
quite well. Couple this with adjusting the left hand margin of the
column the picture flows over achieves the effect of the text wrapping
around the picture, like in a desktop publishing program, just bit
more involved in achieving. Would be a good new feature to include in
a future release of EasiWriter if it were to automatically adjust the
margins!
For those wondering why I don't just use a desktop publishing program.
The reason is that when I export to PDF I want all the bookmark links
to be active. Okay I can live without them, but much rather them if I
can achieve the layout that I want within EasiWriter.
