Hi Valetia, I don't think that's possible at the moment. However, if you're a Windows user, you could use altBrowser : http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/RunRev/altBrowser.htm Let's keep our fingers crossed the authors can find a way to build Mac and Unix versions. In the meantime, you could do something similar with the following, time-consuming workaround : - make the field at its full size (no scrolling) and set its tabStops property to 10 for easier alignment - place image controls at the correct spots, editing the field along the way, breaking lines with return and adding tabs to make sure the text is drawn correctly around the images - place a transparent graphic control at the top and the bottom of the field ; note that these have to be visible or things won't work - group the images and the 2 graphic controls, and set the margins of the group to 0 - set the script of the field to also scroll the image group at the same time : on scrollbarDrag set the vScroll of group "images" to \ the vScroll of me end scrollbarDrag And there you have it : your images and text flowing together neatly as you scroll. For more fine-tuned control, you can set the tabStops of the field to a lower number ; if you feel up to it, you could set this to 1, and script your way through the procedure by examing formattedWidth of chunks of the field and formattedHeight of images, etc. In a variation on the above, you can do the following : - place the images about where you'd want them to end up (you may have to tweak later) - place the text in multiple borderless fields to the right and left of them, and between them, tweaking their positions manually - group the lot and give the group scrollbars. There might even be ways to make editing easier, as you can auto-flow from one field to another ; check out this post from a while ago : http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2002-October/009003.html All in all, not the easiest thing to do, and your careful placement might become a disaster on a computer that ahs a slightly different font. Nevertheless, I hope this helped, Jan Schenkel. ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time." (La Rochefoucauld) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
