Joachim,

I don't have a clue why this happens, but happen it does.  I "cheated" by 
starting the text just before the image and that got the "text begins here" 
to the top corner of the picture.

If it is of any interest, you can see a newbie's (my) example of this 
"cheating" on the following link:

If you do, please leave a note in the Guestbook. I think the PmWiki is great 
and I am grateful the Pm for authoring it and to Lawrie Brown for suggesting 
it to us.

OldAl.
