Cursor Placement, First and Foremost

Before you insert an image, you must first decide where that image should go. First, you should write out all of your text. It is difficult to align an image without having any text to align it with. Decide if you want the image to display on a line by itself or wrapped to the left or right of a paragraph. If you want it on a line by itself, make sure you place your cursor on a blank line. If you want it wrapped around a paragraph, place your cursor on the line where you want tthe top of the image to be. Then follow the steps below.
