How do you control text wrapping where graphics are inserted?

RE: Word

Hello Amy,
I hope you enjoyed your Excel training with us.

Thank you for your question. Text wrapping in Word can seem a bit tricky, but hopefully the tips below will make it seem more manageable.

To get started, add your picture to the document. Do not worry about the location of it, because you will be able to move it, once you have set the type of text wrapping you want to use.

Next, click on the image, and go to the Format menu, then "Picture." This will open a dialog box. Click on the layout tab. You'll see five different possible layouts.

- "In Line with Text" will treat your image like another character within your text.
- "Square" will place your graphic in the middle of text and have the text wrap around all sides of it.
- "Tight" is similar to "Square" but the text lines up closer to the image.
- "Behind Text" or "In Front of Text" will allow the text to go through the image.

You then also have the option for all of the layouts except for "In Line with Text" to choose whether the image should be Left, Centre, or Right on the page. If you choose "Other" you can drag the image anywhere on the page, and the text layout will follow.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved. If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. And please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

Have a great day.

Regards,

Excel tip:

Use Paint Brush to Format More than one Cell

To copy a format to many cells or ranges

1. Select the cell with the format that you want to copy

2. Double-click on the paint brush

When you move to the cell where you want to paste the format you will notice that a paint brush follows the cursor.

Paste the format to all the cells or ranges you need to format.

When finished go back to the paint brush on the tool bar and single click on it to deactivate the function.
