I only ever used Impress once several years ago. Now I need to use it
again, but I am far from an expert.
I placed a PNG graphic on a slide. There is also a text frame on the
slide, and I want the text to wrap around the graphic.
I have scoured though the Help file and it appears to be "Adjust to
contour." But when I select that checkbox the text still does not wrap
around the graphic.
No ideas here on that one; sorry. AFAIK only Writer has a proper wrap
facility.
This might work:
1.) Move the graphic to where you want it on the slide. Also make sure
the graphic is the size you want.
2.) Move the text frame to where you want it to be. Adjust the frame
size as well. You will be able to see the graphic inside the text frame.
3.) Double click inside the text frame to place the flashing cursor at
the top left of the frame. Enter the text using spaces so that the text
appears only to the left and right of the graphic. As you add each line
of text, the graphic will move down by the height of the line.
4.) Click the graphic and drag it back to where you want it to be.
Or there again, might not :-)
Doesn't behave like that when I try it. I just get a graphic with text
superimposed. You're not, I hope, suggesting one might pad the text with
spaces to give a wrap effect????
That is exactly what I am suggestion. Leave spaces in lines of
the text frame where the graphic will be placed later.
The styles for text and graphics do not include a wrap feature, so
this can not be done using styles. The only other solution I see is to
modify OOo which is far more difficult than what it would be worth.
