Flowing Text Around an Object

You can add style and sophistication to your publication by flowing the text of your story around an object—a picture or an AutoShape, for example. You do this by setting the text wrapping for the object that the text wraps around.

Set the Text Wrapping

  1. In a publication that contains a text box and the object you want the text to wrap around, right-click the object, and choose Format from the shortcut menu to display the Format dialog box. (The name of the dialog box changes depending on the type of object selected.)

  2. On the Layout tab, select the text-wrapping style you want.

  3. Specify how you want the text to wrap around the object.

  4. If you selected the Square wrapping style and would rather not use the automatic setting, clear the Automatic check box, and set the values for how closely the text will wrap around the object.

  5. Click OK.

  6. Drag the object into a text box that contains text, and adjust the position of the object so that the text wraps around the object in exactly the way you want.

Set the text wrapping to Tight for an object, and drag the object into a text box that contains text. Point to Text Wrapping on the Arrange menu, and choose Edit Wrap Points from the submenu. Drag a square black wrapping point into a new location to change the way the text wraps around the object. Continue moving wrapping points until you get the wrapping effect you want. Click outside the object when you’ve finished.
