When working with images and text in Microsoft Word, wrapping text is a useful feature. It allows you to control how text flows around pictures, charts, or other objects. By adjusting text wrapping, your document looks more professional, neat, and easy to read. Here is how to wrap text in Word.
- Insert an Image or Object
First, open your Word document and insert an image by clicking on Insert > Pictures. You can also insert shapes, charts, or other objects. Once added, click on the image to select it.
- Open the Wrap Text Options
After selecting the image, go to the Picture Tools Format tab at the top of the screen. Look for the Wrap Text button. Clicking on it will show you different wrapping options to choose from.
- Choose a Wrapping Style
Word provides several wrapping styles such as:
- In Line with Text – the image acts like text and moves with the line.
- Square – text flows neatly around the edges of the image.
- Tight – text hugs the image more closely.
- Top and Bottom – text appears above and below but not on the sides.
- Behind Text – image stays behind the text.
- In Front of Text – image sits on top of the text.
Pick the one that works best for your layout.
- Adjust Position and Spacing
After choosing a wrapping style, you can move the image by dragging it around the page. If needed, click More Layout Options to adjust the distance between the text and the image for better spacing.
- Use Consistency Across the Document
For a polished look, use the same wrapping style for similar images in your document. This keeps your layout clean and makes the document easier to read.
