- Thanks for the great responses to my question about making text
- flow around a graphics object. The key command was "MISC->SHAPE"
- in text edit mode. This allows you to manually adjust the horizontal
- positioning of each line of text so that it doesn't overlap the
- object. (Sadly, as I feared, there seems to be no way to have Ileaf
- do this automatically.) The other key step is that the graphics
- frame should have OVERLAY or UNDERLAY placement so that it doesn't
- displace the text vertically. The steps are as follows:
-
- 1) Place the graphics in a floating frame.
- 2) Select the frame and choose PROPS.
- 3) Select OVERLAY or UNDERLAY placement, and position the
- frame on the page. (At this point it will overlap the
- text.)
- 4) In text edit mode, select MISC->SHAPE. A small bar will
- appear at the beginning and end of each line of text.
- These bars can be horizontally repositioned so that the
- text does not overlap the graphics. (To move a bar,
- select it and choose SET. At least that's the way it
- works on the HP Apollos.)
-
- Thanks again!
