Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Dave Andrews. Today I'm going to show you how to wrap text around a picture in Microsoft Word. Let's go to the computer and open up Microsoft Word. Go to start, all programs, Microsoft Office, and select word. First let's put some text in the document. I'm going to just put that text there and I'm going to copy it and paste it a bunch of times to where it covers up some area and looks like a paragraph. Now let's insert a picture right here in front of the first word, "this". Go to insert, select picture and from file, let's find our picture that we would like to insert. This is a very large picture, so I'm going to re-size it. Click on the picture and that adds these little handlebars at the bottom. Let's click and drag, make the picture smaller. That's okay, except that we want our text to come up here and to wrap around the picture as the paragraph flows. So click on the picture again, right click it, go to format picture. In the layout tab, select the wrapping style of square and the horizontal alignment to the left. Press okay. As you can see, our text is now wrapping around this picture and continuing as a paragraph. It's that easy to wrap text around a picture. My name is Dave Andrews, and I've just showed you how to wrap text around a picture in Microsoft Word."
