You would, of course, need to experiment with the borders and shading of the table to make sure they don't detract from the layout you are trying to achieve. You can then add text to the other column and it appears to be beside the graphic. If you want to stick with a single text box, you could insert a two- or three-column table inside the text box and put the graphic in one of the columns. For instance, you might use multiple text boxes, butted up next to each other, to give the appearance of the text flowing around the graphic.
This means that if you still want to wrap text around the graphic, you'll need to take a different approach to laying out your newsletter.
Any text within a text box cannot be wrapped around another object in the text box because both the text and the object are on the same layer-the drawing layer. When an object is on the drawing layer, information on the text layer can be wrapped around it. The reason that this won't work is because wrapping of text, in Word, is implemented through the interaction of two layers of content: the text layer and the drawing layer. She wants to use a graphic image with one of the articles, but can't get Word to flow the text around the image within the text box. If you think your text might span a page break, you'll want to consider using either the single-cell table approach or use two linked text boxes.Doris is trying to put together a newsletter and is using text boxes so she can flow the continuation of an article from the front page to a later page.
As you are deciding upon the type of object to use, you'll want to pay attention to your page layout, as not all objects flow smoothly when it comes to spanning page breaks. For instance, you can't add footnotes or endnotes to the text, nor can the text be referenced by comments. The only drawback to this approach is that the text within the object is limited in some respects. Then you can format the object so that it has the type of border you desire. You can easily adjust the position of the object so that the text aligns properly relative to other text in the document. Choose Format Text Box from the Context menu. To control text wrapping for a text box, follow these steps: Right-click on the text box.
If you are using text boxes, you have even more wrapping options. The best way to handle this situation is to create some sort of object that can possess a border (such as a single-cell table, a text box, a frame, or a shape) and then place the text inside that object. You can either turn wrapping off, or you can cause Word to flow text around the frame or text box. (You can see this if you select a paragraph, display the Borders and Shading dialog box, and then click on Options.) When you change the margins for a paragraph-as is done if you have a bulleted or numbered list-then the position of the border on those paragraphs will be different than it is for the surrounding paragraphs. The reason that this happens is that the borders you add to a paragraph are always added relative to the paragraph margins. Marc wonders if there is a way to simply border all the paragraphs in the text selection. It appears that the border is "broken" whenever he changes the indent on the bulleted list paragraphs. Marc doesn't get a nice, simple border around the text, though. The text consists of multiple paragraphs, including a lead-in paragraph followed by a bulleted list. Marc is trying to put a border around some text in his document.
