Wrapping text around pic

Hey Guys,
This is a follow up to a thread of mine last night. I am trying to wrap text around a picture. The WP editor wony let me do this. It was suggested I insert this code above the paragraph which I wanted to wrap:

div style=”float:left;”>
Image code here
</div>

Well, that worked, except it changed my fonts, word spacing, and pushed the sidebar to the bottom of the page.
What am I doing wrong? Any Ideas?
thanks in advance,
