Text Wrap in Text Boxes

[fgmarcom]

I'm trying to create a simple-to-use newsletter template for my church. MS
Word is the application we have--not Publisher. So, this question is specific
to Word. Is it possible to insert graphics in a layout of text boxes and wrap
text within the boxes around the inserted graphics? I know how to insert and
wrap text in a standard flowing Word doc. Just not in the boxes. Thanks.

Sorry, no. Text boxes are in the drawing layer, not in the text layer, so
text inside them can't be wrapped around graphics.

But you could use tables for this purpose.
