Place graphics after using PTextWrap command. To wrap text around all or most of the graphics in a publication in the same way, use the PTextWrap command before placing any graphics.

Default when no publication is open. To set text-wrap defaults for all graphics you create or place in future PageMaker publications, use the PTextWrap command when no publication is open.

Wrap set on master pages applies throughout publication. Selecting a text-wrap style for a graphic on a master page causes text to wrap around that graphic on any page on which it appears.

Layout view only. The PTextWrap command works only in layout view.

Example. The following example wraps text around the top and bottom sides of the selected graphic, with an offset from the graphic of 0.2 inches.

PSelect(1); PTextWrap(kWrapRect, kFlowJumpOver, 0, twips(".2i"), 0, twips(".2i"), 0);
