On a web page I am now working on the wording on the left side of the page moves onto a picture on the right side of the page when there is a smaller resolution and when the screen is minimized....How do I stop this?

Also does anyone have any suggestions about a non-beginner book to HTML I have read so many beginning books and they all say the same thing I am ready to get to more helpful books. Thx.

Are you using tables or divisions to lay out your page?
If you're using divisions you can simply add margin-right: Width of Picture; to the div your text is in.

It's hard to give a definitive answer without seeing your code.

As for html lessons, there's tons of great info on the net. I'd suggest going through all the html lessons at http://www.w3schools.com/html/. Once you've completed all of these tutorials, you should know everything you need to about html coding.

gotta finish redesigning my sites so I can show them again.

Correct me if I'm wrong here...
It looks like what you are trying to do is put a picture in on the right and have the text flow around it.
The problem is you have the image outside of the table with the text in it and the table with your text won't flow around it, it will simply sit over the picture.

To make the text flow around the picture use:

<table width="600">
<tr>
<td><img src="../pictures/training.jpg" width="275" height="275" align="right">

If you want the picture outside the table where the text is use:

<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<table width="600">
