change the alignment so the graphic is right-aligned or centered. You can also drag the image anywhere on the page
[h=2]Editing Pictures

[h=2]Editing Pictures
[h=3]Sizing Handles
You can use sizing handles to change a picture's size.
When the mouse pointer is placed on one of the sizing handles, the pointer
changes to a double-headed arrow. You may then change the size or shape of the image by dragging the sizing handle
When any of the four corner handles are dragged, the size of the entire image
becomes smaller or larger, and the picture retains its proportions.
When any of the middle handles are dragged, only the height and width
changes, thus changing the proportion, or scale, of the picture
Be careful; using the sizing handle can make your pictures blurry and distorted.
