This was done with a 2 column table with 2 rows. The top row I used to place the photo and the second row I have used to put the text. Now... notice that since I did not use a return the images are spaced apart because of the text length in the 2nd row. || Then I can write under this photo. NOTICE... I can not also type now in the space above. The space will not allow it. Usually images placed in a cell should not have text in it also. Either one or the other. || This is a link to the how to add files or images into Wiki spaces.
