WD97: Right-aligned Graphic Deletes HTML Code When Saved

ID: Q172092

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

If you insert an image into an HTML document and use the ALIGN property of the IMG tag to right align it, all HTML code after the image is removed from the saved HTML file.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, right align the paragraph that contains the image, instead of aligning the image. To do this, view the HTML source by saving your document, and then clicking HTML Source on the View menu.

Locate the line that contains ALIGN=RIGHT as part of the IMG SRC tag, and change it to align the paragraph. For example, if your file contains the following line

<P><A HREF="INDEX.HTML"><IMG SRC="IMAGE.JPG" ALIGN=RIGHT></A></P>

change it to this

<P ALIGN="RIGHT"><A HREF="INDEX.HTML"><IMG SRC="IMAGE.JPG"></A></P>
