Re: text wrapping for images difficult

First thing to do is calm down and take a look at the options available to
you. Mary, just like the rest of us on this newsgroup, is a volunteer and
her time is also valuable. You don't need to edit the wrap points. The
procedure is essentially the same as with Pub2000.

Select the image, if Solid background, use transparency tool. Click wrapping
style icon on toolbar or use format/picture/layout. Select tight or through.
Answer yes if a box pops up asking if you want new wrap boundaries. Make
sure the margins for the text box are set to zero.

Spend a little time learning the differences in the application from version
to version. Unfortunately too many common functions are changed from version
to version. In this case, I suspect the cause of confusion was the
transparency icon. For this, the help file is useless since all it does is
talk about setting wrap points which is most likely based on the assumption
that a solid background doesn't exist. That isn't necessary if you have a
solid background which can be set to transparent.
