Wrapping Text around a Graphic

You can specify how you want text in a text block to flow around other objects by using the Text Around Graphics command from the Text menu.

In order to wrap text around a graphic, the text block should be on a "lower" level than the graphic object. You can send the text block backward by selecting it and choosing Layer from the Arrange menu. Then choose Send to Back from the submenu.

To wrap text around a graphic:

1.  Click a text block to select it.

2.  Choose Text Around Graphics from the Text menu. The Text Around Graphics dialog appears.

3.  Select the Text Wrap option you want to use. The options are "Around the border", "Around the contours", or "Ignore". If you have previously applied text wrap to a text block and want to stop the text from wrapping, select the Ignore option.

4.  Select one of the Wrap Fit options to specify how tightly you want the text to wrap around the graphic. The options are "Tight", "Medium", or "Loose".

5.  Click the OK button to apply the wrap option to the selected text block, or click Cancel to leave the text block unchanged.
