Inline and Floating Images
Images in Word can be either Inline or Floating. Wimba Create will convert both types, but Inline images are much easier to deal with.
Inline image
An image that is embedded at a fixed point in the text. This kind of image behaves as though it is a very large text character.
Floating image
An image that can be dragged around the page at will, with text flowing round it. Although it can be moved around, a floating image has an anchor point in relation to which its position is measured.
You can tell whether an image is Inline or Floating by selecting it. Inline images have solid selection handles, while Floating images have hollow selection handles.

Above is an inline image. This is the easiest type of image to use.
A floating image
On the left is a floating image. The main reason for using floating images is to get images and text side by side like this.
However, you need to be very careful when using floating images. They will be positioned at the anchor point of the image, and it is not easy in Word to know where that is.
See the Reference document for more details.
