Wrapping Text Around Graphics

Word makes it easy to wrap text around a graphic. Insert the graphic into your document (for example, by clicking the Picture button on the Ribbon’s Insert tab), right-click the graphic, and choose Format Picture (or Format AutoShape if you inserted a shape). Click the Layout tab and choose how you want the text to wrap. (You’ll find additional options when you click the Advanced button.) You can also use the Ribbon to modify the picture. Click Position from the Picture Tools (or Drawing Tools) Format tab to adjust the graphic’s layout as shown in Figure 9.27.
