Formatting text box

[MaryL]

I have two questions, both relating to the same text box I am trying to
format.

(1) I want to insert a picture within a text box and change the size of the
picture. So far, so good. However, I want the small picture to be in the
upper right-hand corner of the text box with text wrapping to the right of
the picture and underneath. I have tried "square" and various other
options. In each case, the first line of text is aligned with the bottom of
the picture (but to the right of it), and then text continues underneath.
Is there any way to position the cursor (and therefore text) to the right of
the picture but either at the top of the picture or approximately half-way
up?I am using that text as a title.

(2) I would also like to change the border of the text box. However, each
attempt has resulted either in a border around the picture or a border
around the text underneath the picture. I would like to change the border
around the entire area of the original text box, but I do not want a border
around either the picture or the separate text that I have entered.

Thanks for any help,
MaryL

Well, you can stop trying because (a) you can't wrap text around a picture
inside a text box, and (b) text boxes don't have borders; they have "lines."
On the Colors and Lines tabs of Format Text Box, you can choose a variety of
border styles, but they're all "box" borders (you can't have them on
selected sides).

There are undoubtedly other ways to accomplish what you want. You can insert
a wrapped graphic in ordinary inline text. Or you could insert a table in
your text box and put the graphic in one cell and the text in the other(s).
With some trial and error you could put part of the text in a cell beside
the graphic and the rest in a merged cell below graphic and text. You could
then apply a border ("line") to the text box.
