A perfect example is a newspaper where there is a cover photo and the text around it.

Once you have inserted your photo or clip art, left click the object to select it, then right click it to open the shortcut menu. Left click Format Picture. Left click the Layout tab at the top of the dialog box. You will see a row of dogs. They represent how the text will flow around the graphic. To flow the text around the object in an evenly spaced square, click the dog above the word Square. Then left click Left, Center or Right under Horizontal Alignment. This tells the program where you want the photo to appear on your page (at the left, center or right side of the page).



Now left click Advanced in the lower right corner of the dialog box. Left click the Text Wrapping tab at the top of the dialog box. Under Wrap Text, left click beside the way you want your text to wrap around the graphic: Both Sides, Left Only, Right Only or Largest Only. Click OK, click OK again. Voilà. You’ve wrapped text. If it isn’t exactly the way you want, start over and try various other wrapping formats.

If you right click on the picture, you can change things like the alignment and the properties. What you want to look for is "Wrap". You want to wrap text. The easiest way is to search for wrap in the help file. But you can basically figure it out on your own. Word has a simple icon that shows how it will look when you are finished. Good Luck.

Why not make a table with two columns, put the picture in the left column and text in the right column. If you want around the picture,

1. type the text u want to appear above the picture press enter

2. insert table with three columns and one row

3. type text on the first and third column and

4. put your desired picture in the second one

continue with the text u want below the picure outside the table.



If you have borders active, select the complete table and remove the borders.

There's an icon on one of the toolbars for inserting a "text box" that you can move any place you want. If you don't see it, you may have to add the toolbar, itself by clicking on view, then toolbars and either formatting or drawing.
