You can change the text wrapping style for inserted objects, such as <a href="../UsageInstructions/InsertAutoshapes.htm" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">shapes</a>, <a href="../UsageInstructions/InsertImages.htm" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">images</a>, <a href="../UsageInstructions/InsertCharts.htm#" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">charts</a>, <a href="../UsageInstructions/InsertTextObjects.htm" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">text boxes</a> or <a href="../UsageInstructions/InsertTables.htm" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">tables</a>.</p> <h3>Change text wrapping for shapes, images, charts, text boxes</h3> <p>To change the currently selected wrapping style:</p> <ol> <li>select a separate object on the page left-clicking it. To select a text box, click on its border, not the text within it.</li> <li>open the text wrapping settings: <ul> <li>switch to the the <b>Layout</b> tab of the top toolbar and click the arrow next to the <div class = "icon icon-wrapping_toptoolbar"></div> <b>Wrapping</b> icon, or</li> <li>right-click the object and select the <b>Wrapping Style</b> option from the contextual menu, or</li> <li>right-click the object, select the <b>Advanced Settings</b> option and switch to the <b>Text Wrapping</b> tab of the object <b>Advanced Settings</b> window.</li> </ul> </li> <li>select the necessary wrapping style: <ul> <li> <p><span class="icon icon-wrappingstyle_inline_toptoolbar"></span> <b>Inline</b> - the object is considered to be a part of the text, like a character, so when the text moves, the object moves as well. In this case the positioning options are inaccessible.</p> <p>If one of the following styles is selected, the object can be moved independently of the text and positioned on the page exactly:</p> </li> <li><p><span class="icon icon-wrappingstyle_square_toptoolbar"></span> <b>Square</b> - the text wraps the rectangular box that bounds the object.</p></li> <li><p><span class="icon icon-wrappingstyle_tight_toptoolbar"></span> <b>Tight</b> - the text wraps the actual object edges.</p></li> <li><p><span class="icon icon-wrappingstyle_through_toptoolbar"></span> <b>Through</b> - the text wraps around the object edges and fills in the open white space within the object. So that the effect can appear, use the <b>Edit Wrap Boundary</b> option from the right-click menu.</p></li> <li><p><span class="icon icon-wrappingstyle_topandbottom_toptoolbar"></span> <b>Top and bottom</b> - the text is only above and below the object.</p></li> <li><p><span class="icon icon-wrappingstyle_infront_toptoolbar"></span> <b>In front</b> - the object overlaps the text.</p></li> <li><p><span class="icon icon-wrappingstyle_behind_toptoolbar"></span> <b>Behind</b> - the text overlaps the object.</p></li> </ul> </li> </ol> <p>If you select the <b>Square</b>, <b>Tight</b>, <b>Through</b>, or <b>Top and bottom</b> style, you will be able to set up some additional parameters - <b>Distance from Text</b> at all sides (top, bottom, left, right). To access these parameters, right-click the object, select the <b>Advanced Settings</b> option and switch to the <b>Text Wrapping</b> tab of the object <b>Advanced Settings</b> window. Set the necessary values and click <b>OK</b>.</p> <p>If you select a wrapping style other than <b>Inline</b>, the <b>Position</b> tab is also available in the object <b>Advanced Settings</b> window. To learn more on these parameters, please refer to the corresponding pages with the instructions on how to work with <a href="../UsageInstructions/InsertAutoshapes.htm#position" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">shapes</a>, <a href="../UsageInstructions/InsertImages.htm#position" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">images</a> or <a href="../UsageInstructions/InsertCharts.htm#position" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">charts</a>.</p> <p>If you select a wrapping style other than <b>Inline</b>, you can also edit the wrap boundary for <b>images</b> or <b>shapes</b>. Right-click the object, select the <b>Wrapping Style</b> option from the contextual menu and click the <b>Edit Wrap Boundary</b> option. Drag wrap points to customize the boundary. To create a new wrap point, click anywhere on the red line and drag it to the necessary position. <span class = "big big-wrap_boundary"></span></p> <h3>Change text wrapping for tables</h3> <p>For <a href="../UsageInstructions/InsertTables.htm" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">tables</a>, the following two wrapping styles are available: <b>Inline table</b> and <b>Flow table</b>.</p> <p>To change the currently selected wrapping style:</p> <ol> <li>right-click the table and select the <b>Table Advanced Settings</b> option,</li> <li>switch to the <b>Text Wrapping</b> tab of the <b>Table - Advanced Settings</b> window, </li> <li> select one of the following options: <ul> <li><b>Inline table</b> is used to select the wrapping style when the text is broken by the table as well as to set the alignment: left, center, right.</li> <li><b>Flow table</b> is used to select the wrapping style when the text is wrapped around the table.</li> </ul> </li> </ol> <p>Using the <b>Text Wrapping</b> tab of the <b>Table - Advanced Settings</b> window you can also set up the following additional parameters:</p> <ul> <li>For inline tables, you can set the table <b>Alignment</b> type (left, center or right) and <b>Indent from left</b>.</li> <li>For floating tables, you can set the <b>Distance from text</b> and the table <b>position</b> at the <a href="../UsageInstructions/InsertTables.htm#position" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">Table Position</a> tab.</li> </ul> </div> </body> </html>
