Chapter 33. Text Wrap

When text meets graphics, or any two objects on your page overlap, your page layout application lets you choose how the two shall meet. In QuarkXPress, this choice is called runaround, and it’s controlled in the Runaround panel of the Modify dialog box. In InDesign and PageMaker, it’s called text wrap, and in InDesign, you make your choices in the Text Wrap palette.

Wrap Options

When you want to set the text wrap around an object, open the Text Wrap palette from the Type & Tables submenu in the Window menu (or press Command-Option-W/Ctrl-Alt-W) If necessary, choose Show Options from the palette’s flyout menu to see the contour options at the bottom of the palette (see Figure 33-1).
