Hello all, first time post, been lurking around a week.
I suppose this is "old school" but that's how I write a lot of my letters.
Just using tables, like everybody has already suggested, is the way to get
it done.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<table width="80%" border="0" style="font-family: times; font-weight: 600;
font-size: 11pt" cellpadding="5">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><img src="image/gif_folder/nameofimage.gif" align="left"
hspace="9" border="2"><!-- TEXT CONTENT --></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="image/gif_folder/notherimage.gif" align="right"
hspace="4" border="2"><!-- TEXT CONTENT --></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
_____________________________________________________
hspace can be dispensed with if align is set to right, because the color of
the text is usually set relative to the left margin. However, I find it
looks crappy when the text is jammed up next to the image when using align
set to the left, I just use 9 pixels because it's quicker than using 2
keystrokes to make a "10."
