# Aligning Images with Text

As a general rule, every image must be aligned with the text it follows so that readers do not have to "hop" from the text to the image.

::: important

If there is only one image in a topic, place the image at the end of the topic and do not leave important details and notes after the image — users tend to skip such information, especially when they read documents online and have to scroll further to notice it.

:::

## Paragraphs

In regular paragraphs, align images to the left.

## Lists

If you add images to illustrate items in a list (typically, [steps in a procedure](howto_task_topic.md)), align these images according to the following rules:

- If there is only one image that illustrates the entire procedure, place the image at the end of the procedure and align it with the lead-in paragraph. 
- If you need to provide an image for each step in the procedure, place each image at the end of each step it follows. For *List L1* steps, align images with *List L1 Paragraph*; for *List L2* steps, align images with *List L2 Paragraph*; for *List L3* steps, align images with *List L3 Paragraph*.

## Example 1 (Paragraph)

To back up to a Microsoft Windows or Linux backup repository in a local site, you must deploy a backup proxy on a machine that has access to the source datastore and point the backup job to this backup proxy. In this scenario, the source-side Veeam Data Mover is started on the backup proxy, and the target-side Veeam Data Mover is started on the Microsoft Windows or Linux repository. The VM data is sent from the backup proxy to the backup repository over the LAN.

## Example 2 (Procedure)

To connect an SMTP server that will be used for sending email notifications, take the following steps:

1. Switch to the **Administration** tab.
2. Navigate to **Reporting** > **Email Subscriptions**.
3. Click **Edit**.
4. In the **SMTP Server** window:

   1. In the **SMTP Server** field, enter a DNS name or an IP address of the SMTP server. All email notifications (including test messages) will be sent by this SMTP server.
   2. In the **Port** field, change the SMTP communication port if required. The default SMTP port is **25**.
   3. In the **From** field, enter an email address of the notification sender. This email address will be displayed in the **From** field of notifications.
   4. For an SMTP server with SSL/TLS support, select the **Use secure connection** check box to enable SSL data encryption.
   5. If your SMTP server requires authentication, select the **Use authentication** check box, and specify authentication credentials in the **User** and **Password** fields.
   6. The Orchestrator UI allows you to send a test message to check whether you have configured all settings correctly. To do that, click **Send Test Email**.
   7. Click **Save**.

      If you want to run the plan after another plan, select the **Schedule after option** and choose the preceding plan.
