Hi, I am trying to wrap text around a graphic (text box, figure) in WordPerfect and can't figure out how to make the text go completely around the graphic. I don't want to make the graphic take up the entire width of the page by using the "Full" selection from the horizontal positioning menu because some are text boxes that I want a shaded background for and I don't want the shading to go all the way across the page. Finally, just including blank lines is not acceptable because that removes one of the basic niceties of a word processor. Being able to add and remove sections of a document and letting the word processor take care of the pageing etc. The graphic will jump around from page to page and I will have to add or delete more of those blank lines. Thanks for any help -Joe -- Joe Duval duvalj@bionette.cgrb.orst.edu Losing your temper generally represents the incipient stage of rectal- cranial inversion.

According to WordPerfect Magazine, it can't be done. The easiest work- around is to set up newspaper columns and put the graphic box between them. I now what you want to do . . . something like this: _____ This is | | a test. This is |___| another test. But you'll have to settle for: _____ This is | | This is a test. |___| another test. The only other possibility I can think of is to set "Wrap text around box" to no and tab across it. Gail PS.
