Re: How to wrap text around a figure?

2012-11-26 Thread Paul A . Rubin
Did you change the default settings for the figure wrap float inset after adding
it to the document? If not, right-click the handle (where it says wrap:
Figure) and select Settings. Change the placement to left, make sure the
width is set appropriately, and make sure the float option is not selected. Of
course, you also have to make sure the figure fits in the allotted space.

Vertical positioning is tricky - it is based on where the box appears in the
text flow, rather than position on the page (meaning if you add or delete text
prior to the box, it will move).

How to wrap text around a figure?

2012-11-25 Thread Alasdair Reed
Hi, I am trying to wrap some text around a figure.  Example the figure
should be a third the way down the page up against the left margin,
with the text flowing along the top of the figure and down the right
hand side of the figure resuming from the left hand margin once the
bottom of the figure is reached. Using figure wrap float the figure
is placed in the middle of the page and the text appears above and
below the figure but does not flow round it. 
Which is the best way to
achieve this aim?
