How can I add apicture w/o text moving

A friend of mine asked me to add a little Sea Horse to a invitation card,
whenever I add the little sea horse, all the text moves away. How can I
leave the text alone, but still add a picture to a blank area of the card.
Probably easy to do, but not for me, we are using CorelDraw v8. Many
thanks.......Peter

It's been a while since I've used v.8, so I may be a little blurry on the exact
details.

Sounds like you have paragraph text, and DRAW is set to have text-wrapping
around bitmaps.

Not exactly sure where, but to get the bitmap to act independent from the text,
you need to locate Text Wrapping and set it to None.

Check you Object Properties rollup . . . .
