That's true. But how do other software programmes attain this? Just curious... (worked in newspapers earlier... now interested in books).

Re: Getting text to wrap around illustrations in Lyx
No, I've used other software. They get a pretty neat result, regardless of the column width. At most, they might stuff a lot of white space *in between* words.
