John,

I know from nothing-- just try to make it happen. Others on the list may 
be better suited to answering your question [s].


Best,

John,

Needs structure. Divide the content block roughly in half. Put the text 
in the [float] right half and the large image in the [float]  left half. 
The bank of 5 images is like a footer-- set its width to the same as the 
content box -- and clear both floats.
The horizontal rule is the border top [#222] of the 5 image block. If 
you prefer change it to the border bottom of the right-hand text block.

All ab0ve requires a change in the markup and in the css file.
Please see
markup

css [lines 43 through 48]


Best,

Jukka..thanks..I'll have to re-visit that; I  simply wasn't able to get it to 
work, but bottom-border was the first thing I tried...if I can get that to 
work, that would be the bee's knees.

thank you!

No, it is as wide as the paragraph element. So the question is: What do 
you mean by the width of the text?

I don't understand what you are referring to. If you simply set a 
bottom-border for a  element, it takes the width of that element, and 
you can set padding-bottom as desired.



Am I attacking the problem all wrong here?


I'm afraid it's not clear at all what the problem is.

A quick word to the wise. Right now PDF's and MS Office documents are 
not the flavour of the month. Problems with embedded fonts. I'm sure 
that this is a trusted source, but for the moment i would look to be 
supplying examples as exported images instead.
