The text editor Word, which is part of Microsoft Office, offers us a wide range of possibilities for writing and editing documents. One of the most popular features is the inclusion of a variety of images in the text. If the photo material is in high resolution, then the user does not have questions. But what if the image is small in size, and its orientation in the middle of the sheet does not look too organic. In such a case, text is wrapped around the image. There is a special toolkit for this in Word, and today we will consider how to use it.
Application example
It is already difficult to imagine the modern world without advertising, which, as you know, is the engine of trade relations. To promote a product or service on the market, in some cases, such accessible means as leaflets are still used. The method is simple and low-cost, and audience coverage will depend only on the scale of distribution.
Placements in the text of images in this case can be used to improve the perception of the document by the person reading it. The presence of a visual image of the product or company logo, placed along with its description, will make such a text more convenient for review. In this case, you may need to use the "text flow" function in Word.
HTML alternative
Of course, the printing of leaflets, given as an example, is far from the only possibility of using such a useful tool as text wrapping. In Word, you can save or create a document as a web page.
Of course, there are many, much more advanced tools for building sites than a text editor. But it is quite possible to sketch out an approximate sketch of your site and then entrust it to professionals. At the very least, this option will allow you to save your own and other people's time, which you will spend on a verbal description of wishes for web designers.
Sequencing
Consider how to wrap text in Word. To perform this operation, we’ll enter the “Insert” menu that is already familiar to us and select the “Picture” element. After placing the necessary image in the document, right-click on the drop-down menu and select the "Text Transfer" item there. By experimenting with the parameters, you can choose the most suitable option.
Changing the location of the image on the page is possible not only through the context menu. Having selected a picture in the text and going to the “Layout” tab, you can find a whole control panel designed to edit its placement. The tools available here allow you to choose the location of a given picture in a specific area of the document being created and use various options for the text wrap tool. In Word, in this way, various schemes can be combined to achieve a better effect.
Another useful feature of Word is the ability to apply non-standard variants of its interaction with the surrounding text to the picture. If you select the option “Change Wrap Border” in the “Text Wrap” menu, you can edit the drawing field with a standard rectangular shape in a wide range. Depending on what is shown in the figure, you can “force” the text to line up near it diagonally or at different angles along the side.
Finally
Today we talked about how to use the "text wrap" toolkit in Word. After conducting several experiments, you can choose the most suitable parameters for its use and easily create compact and rich in useful information documents.
