Re: text wrapping for images difficult

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

On the toolbar there is an icon that looks like a dog. Select your image, click the
dog, click edit wrap points. You have options here for what sort of wrap. You can
edit the points, same as always. Put your cursor on a point, right-click, you have
some options you did not have in 2000.
