Wrap text around an object

You can surround pictures, shapes, and other objects with text. Wrapping text around an object adds emphasis to the object and prevents the text from covering other parts of your picture.

To wrap text around an object:

Select the text box you want to wrap around an object.
On the Text menu, click Wrap Text Around Objects.
Select the object you want to wrap the text around.
On the Format menu, point to Move Forward or Backward, and then click Bring to Front.
Drag the object on top of the text box.

Notes

Clicking Wrap Text Around Objects turns this feature on and off. A check mark next to the command on the Text menu indicates the effect is active.
Text only wraps around objects that are above it in the Stack.
