Text Wrapping for Learners

This document discusses different text wrapping options in word processing documents. It introduces square wrapping, which wraps text around the bounding box of an image while maintaining a rectangular shape. Tight wrapping follows the exact shape of an image. Through wrapping allows text to flow within an image but requires adjusting wrap points. Top and bottom wrapping places an image on its own line with text above and below. Behind text and in front of text place the image on a separate layer in front of or behind the text.

WRAPPING
Objectives
At the end of the session, the learners shall be
able to:
1. Introduce text wrapping options;
2.Discuss the different text wrapping options;
3. Wrap text images and external materials to
documents.
Text Wrapping

Text wrap is a feature supported by


many word processors that enables you to
surround a picture or diagram with text.
The text wraps around the graphic.
Square Wrapping

The most common wrapping style is Square,


which means the text wraps around a
rectangular box (called a “bounding box”) that
encloses the image. You can see the bounding
box when the image is selected. This is used if
you want the image is very close to the text
that describes it.
Square Wrapping
Tight Wrapping

Similar to square wrapping, but instead of


following the line of the bounding box, it
follows the shape of the image. If the image is a
rectangle, you won’t see a difference. But if
your image is any other shape, the text wraps
closely around the edge, creating a more
dramatic effect.
Tight Wrapping
Through Wrapping

When you initially apply it, it looks exactly like tight


wrapping. The difference is that Through wrapping
allows text to flow into the white space inside an image.
It won’t do that by default, though. To see the full
effect, you need to use the Edit Wrap Points option on
the Wrap Text menu. Once you select this option, the
line that the text follows when wrapping will be visible,
with handles at each corner that can be dragged to adjust
that line.
Through Wrapping
Top and Bottom Wrapping

Sometimes you want an image to be on a line


by itself. You can use As the name implies, the
text will stay above and below the image, not
wrapping on the sides. This can be useful when
you have a large image that doesn’t leave much
room for wrapping text on the sides. All the
images in this post use this style of wrapping.
Behind Text

The last two wrapping styles don’t actually


cause the text to wrap around the image.
Instead, they place the image on a separate
layer from the text. The Behind Text option
causes the text to flow over the image. This can
be useful if you want to create a watermark
effect or a background to a section of the page.
In front of Text

The In Front of Text option lets the image


sit on top of the text.
Enumerate life activities that
text wrapping could be applied.
Summarize the text wrapping
options.
