Paul,
Float isn't coming soon. Therefore, you have to calculate your text lengths and then manually create the wrap around. I've had some success with this method, doing it professionally will require looking at the font's xml file and actually calculating the word wraps and character kerning.
Page width = "X" |--------------------------------------------------------|
+
| Line height = "Y" +
Image width = "W" +-----+ | | | | Image height = "Z" +-----+
Characters per unit length in line of text = "V"
# Lines of text = ceiling(Z / Y ) Characters / line = (X - W) * V
Create a two column table, one column holds the image, the other, some text. How much text = ceiling( Z / Y ) * ( X - W) * V
