You can make your newsletters and other projects "pop" in Microsoft Publisher, by formatting your images to use text wrap! Have you ever wondered how to get the words in your document flow around the edges of your images? In this article you will learn how to add edit points to your images and how to wrap text around them, read on to find out more!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Microsoft Publisher 2007
Digital Images
Time

Step 1

Go into Microsoft Publisher and insert an image, I’ve found that images that have a whole item, such as the shoes in my example work best, but you can load any image you want.
Step 2

Select edit wrap points

Next go up to the image properties box in the right hand corner, select “image wrap” and then “edit wrap points” in the drop down window. After doing so you will see a red box around your image.
Step 3

Edit wrap points

Hover your mouse over the red line, you’ll see a little symbol appear when you’re in the right place, grab the line by left mouse-click and drag to the outside edge of your picture. Continue on in this way until you’ve enclosed your entire image.
Step 4

Text Wrap

Position your image where you want it in your text and go back up to the image properties box in the upper right hand corner, this time select “tight” for wrap style, you may get a pop-up window, select no to keep your changes. Your text now wraps around your image!
