Text Wrapping

What’s it all about?

https://courses.lumenlearning.com/wm-compapp/chapter/text-wrap/

Text Wrap

• A feature that enables you to

surround a picture or diagram
with text.

Or simply

• Wraps text around the graphic.

Note:

• Wherever the image is placed, the line spacing

dramatically increases to fit the size of the picture.

• This is because images are treated as an inline text

character.

• In other words, Word treats the image like it would

treat any word or letter of text. You can change this

by applying a text wrap. Text wrap causes all of the

text to wrap around the image so that the image

does not interfere with line spacing.

Text Wrap Options

• Square—Text wraps around the image in a square shape. (The most

frequently used)

• Tight/Through—Text wraps around image, regardless of what shape the

image is. This text wrap works best with images that have no background.

• Top and Bottom—Text stops when it hits the top of the image and

continues at the bottom of the image; no text is to the left or right of the
image

• Behind text—Image is behind text. Text will cover image.
• In front of text—Image is in front of text. Text behind the image is not

visible.
