axis.
Arrangement controls how graphics are stacked upon each other or relative to the
text.

2. Alignment -refers to the vertical or horizontal placement of a graphic in relation


to the chosen anchor point.

3. Anchoring- refers to the reference point for the graphics. This point could be
the page, or frame where the object is, a paragraph, or even a character. An image
always has an anchor point.

4. Text wrapping- refers to the relation of graphics to the surrounding text, which
may wrap around the graphic on one or both sides, be overprinted behind or in
front of the graphic, or treat the graphic as a separate paragraph or character.

5. Creating A Template Using A Wizard

and Web pages. For example, the Fax Wizard guides you through the following
choices:

1. Type of fax (business or personal)

2. Document elements like the date, subject line (business fax), salutation, and
complementary close

3. Options for sender and recipient information (business fax)

4. Text to include in the footer (business fax)

STEPS:

1. From the main menu, choose File > Wizards >[type of template required
2. In the last section of the wizard, you can specify the name and location for
saving the template
3. Finally, you have the option of creating a new document from your template
immediately, or manually changing the template.

Each button on the Structure line represents one element:

The E# button represents the chapter number.

The E button represents the entry text
