Text Wrapping

Text Wrapping


Once feature of Word that I find many people have problems with is the text wrapping feature. When you insert an image onto your page , by default the text wrapping is set for inline. This is fine if you want your image in the exact location that it appears in and you don't want text next to it.

Most of the time this is not the case. You want to be able to move it to a particular location and be able to type text next to it. In that case you need to change the text wrapping on the images.

To do that follow these steps:

1. Click on the image to select it.

2. Your picture toolbar should open. If it doesn't then go to View on the menu bar and down to Toolbar and click on picture.

3. Click on the text wrapping icon. It looks like a Scottie Dog.

4. Choose the type of wrapping that is best for your document. If you want text to wrap around your images then tight or square works well.
