Layout: Wrapping Text Around Objects

This section explains how to wrap text around tables, charts, and images in various ways to improve readability and visual appeal in documents.

Wrapping Text Around a Table

When text needs to flow around a table, different wrapping options can be applied. These options control how the text interacts with the table's borders and cells.

  • Above: Text appears above the table.
  • Below: Text appears below the table.
  • Square: Text wraps to fill the space above and below the table, creating a square shape.
  • Tight: Text wraps tightly around the table, minimizing the space above and below.
Above Below Square Tight

Above: Text appears above the table.

Below: Text appears below the table.

Square: Text wraps to fill the space above and below the table.

Tight: Text wraps tightly around the table.

Wrapping Text Around a Chart

Similar to tables, text can be wrapped around charts using the same options: above, below, square, and tight. This is useful for providing titles, descriptions, or annotations related to the chart's data.

  • Above: Text appears above the chart.
  • Below: Text appears below the chart.
  • Square: Text wraps to fill the space above and below the chart.
  • Tight: Text wraps tightly around the chart.

Wrapping Text Around an Image

Text wrapping around images provides a way to integrate images seamlessly into a document's layout. The same wrapping options (above, below, square, and tight) are available for images.

  • Above: Text appears above the image.
  • Below: Text appears below the image.
  • Square: Text wraps to fill the space above and below the image.
  • Tight: Text wraps tightly around the image.
