Wrap text around an object

You can wrap text around any sort of object, including drawn objects, imported graphics, and even text frames. The wrap is actually applied to the object, not to the text; the object holds a boundary around itself to repel the text. This means if you move the object onto another body of text, that new text will wrap around the object boundary. This is the simplest form of text wrap, just to get you started using it.

1 Create a text frame full of small type, and justify the text.

2 Then place a photo or draw any sort of shape on the page. Position the graphic so it overlaps the text at least halfway.

3 With the black Selection tool, select the object.

4 From the Window menu, choose “Text Wrap.”
