Editor's Notes
- #3: To get to text wrapping, insert the image, then:Either right-click on the image and choose FORMAT PICTUREOrClick on FORMAT on the ribbon – which only shows when you have clicked on an image – and choose TEXT WRAPPING.
- #4: Right-click on the image and choose FORMAT PICTURE then TEXT WRAPPING
- #5: Click on the image, then click FORMAT on the ribbon. Then click TEXT WRAPPING (not shown).
- #6: In-line wrappingDoesn’t give you much control. You can’t add a border.
- #7: SquarewrappingGives you much more control. You can add a border and effects, and drag the image.
- #8: Tight wrappingThe text sits nearer the image. You can add a border and effects, and drag the image.
- #9: Behind text wrappingUseful if you want to put a watermark on a page or in a table.
- #10: In front of text wrappingText underneath the image is invisible.
- #11: Through wrappingSimilar to Tight but if there are any blank spaces at the sides of the image, text will flow into those areas.
- #12: Top & bottomwrappingThis is the one I use most often in books. The image breaks up lines of text, not just paragraphs, so you may have to nudge it up or down so it sits between paragraphs.
- #13: Top & bottom wrapping looks best if you add an extra line space above and below the image.I usually give these line spaces a NO SPACING style, modified to be a small font size. This means there isn’t too much space above and below the image but just enough to make it stand out.
- #14: RIGHT-CLICK on the NO SPACING style on the ribbon and choose MODIFY. Then you can adjust the font size and it will apply to all instances where you have used No Spacing in the document.
