JoAnn, in case you ever want to do text wrap in MS Word, here is the
tip I have been looking for:
What we're looking for is called text wrapping. (Makes sense given that
we need to wrap the text around the picture.)
There's a couple of ways to find the text wrapping settings - one of
them is on the Picture Toolbar that opens when a picture is selected.
You're looking for the Text Wrapping button. The little dog represents
a picture and the lines represent text so you can tell by looking at
the button how the relationship between the two is currently set.
If you click the button then a whole list of choices will appear.
Choose from the list how you want the text to interact with the picture
(the names are pretty self-explanatory). I tend to choose either Tight
(which has the text follow the contours of the picture as shown above)
or Square (which will force the text into a square shape at the edges
of the picture).
But, whatever your choice you should see a change in the way the text
behaves around the picture. Hopefully your choice makes an improvement
but if it doesn't then select a different option.
Now, on to the second way to cause text wrapping changes...
Should you, for some reason, not have the picture toolbar handy or not
like it at all then you could choose to right click on the picture and
choose Format Picture from the menu that pops open.
When the Picture Format window opens you're looking for the tab that
contains the wrapping choices. In the newer versions it's on the Layout
tab and in the older versions you may find a Wrapping Tab.
Either way, when you get there you're presented with pretty much the
same choices. Make your selection and click OK.
Once again, you're back in your document where you should find that the
text and picture have begun a very pleasant relationship giving you
that professional look you were seeking.

I can't help you beyond giving you the link top Graham's excellent site.
I
don't use Word for labels with pictures.

Everytime there is a security update it resets word wrap. I usually go
in and set everything back to tight (word wrap) but It won't set back
to wrap this time. I have always been able to wrap the words around an
image, but something has happened in the last update of last week (week
of August 6th-12th). I don't have Publisher.

Please note that even Graham says that using Publisher to do this is
much
easier but not everyone is wise enough to have purchased Publisher.

I have a question about Microsoft Word.
I print out my own labels for what ever I am working on. Today I
tried
printing some labels with a picture on the label and the font in
wrap
around style, but it wouldn't wrap. I clicked on tools, then
options,
then in options, on edit, and then on tight (wrap around). And the
text
still won't wrap. What can I do to get the text to wrap around the
image or picture, or what am I doing wrong?
