Layers

Actually, I begin to prefer layers to tables. Layers are easy to edit width, and more importantly, it is easy to change position in a page. You can insert images, text, and media in a layer and move them into different positions. However, it is a little bit difficult to keep the page in such a nice order as in tables. Here is a small tip in using layers.

If you want to move an image in a layer, always remember to click on the corner of the layer until a square shape appear and drag the mouse on the square shape to move the image. If you drag in the image, you unintentionally take the image out of the layer.

I am often annoyed when typing the text in a layer as it seems the space between lines is wider. My current solution: I don't use "Enter" key, instead I adjust the layer. However, it takes much time. I may find another way.
