Text wrapping

Text wrapping lets you control how frame text flows around objects such as placed images, picture frames, shapes and even other text frames. You can also edit the wrap outline around your object to customize the extent of wrapping.

Text wrapping is applicable when objects are partially or fully overlapping frame text.

To wrap text:
  1. Select the object you want frame text to be wrapped around.

    • No wrap None—Text will not wrap around the object.
    • Wrap Jump Jump—Text will appear above and below the object.
    • Wrap Square Square—Text will wrap around a rectangle which bounds the object.
    • Wrap Tight Tight—Text will wrap tightly outside the object’s outline.
    • Wrap Inside Inside—Text will wrap tightly inside the object’s outline.
    • Wrap Edge Edge—Text will avoid the edges of the object.
  3. Wrap Both Sides Wrap Largest Side For Square or Tight styles, choose to Wrap to either both sides or the widest portion of text.
  4. Use the Distance From Text options to selectively set the buffer space between object edge and text.
