Text Wrap objects inside a text box

[RusNZ44]

How do I use Text Wrap on objects inside a text box (therefore, enabling to
move them)? Because, whenever I paste an object, e.g. a ClipArt, inside a
text box, Text Wrap is not available for use (grayed out, only "In Line With
Text" is available).

Can anyone tell me anything about this?

Can only tell you what you obviously know already - you can't apply text
wrapping to objects in text boxes. There are some ways to improvise, but
you'd be far better off to use a program such as MS Publisher if it's
available. What you want to do is a *page layout* technique, not a word
processing format.

Would creating an extra text box and pasting the object inside it work?

Maybe I should have phrased my reply differently Text wrapping can only
be applied to an object anchored to the text flow (a paragraph) and has no
impact on the flow of text that isn't in the main text layer. IOW, applying
text wrapping to a text box or other object will not change the flow of text
in another text box if the two overlap.

I'm not sure what you are looking to accomplish, but you might consider
using a table (even a single-cell table) rather than text boxes. I still
believe you would be more successful using a page layout (Desktop
Publishing) program.

Thank you, CyberTaz. I've figured it out now. =)

No problem - It also occurred to me that you _may_ have more success if you
use Frames rather than Text Boxes. If not familiar with them you can look
them up in Word Help.
