Text wrapping doesn't work in Publisher 2007

[sherwood]

I have a print document. In it one page has a text box and a picture.
The picture is a JPEG, rectangular, with no border. The text box and
the picture frame have significant overlap, so I want the text to wrap
around the picture. So in Format picture/Layout/Wrapping Style I
choose Square, and under Wrap text, Both sides. The text and picture
are superimposed, not what I want.

No matter which Wrapping Style I choose, I get the same result. If I
edit the wrap points, I see that they are at the corners of the
rectangular picture frame.

How do I get wrapping to work? Just to be clear, by "wrapping" I mean
that the words in the text frame should only appear in the part of the
text frame which does not overlap the picture, and no words should be
obscured by the picture.

Do you have the picture ordered such that it's above the text box?

That makes it work--tnx. It isn't obvious to me why wrapping depends
on order in this way.

Placing the picture on top forces the text underneath to conform to the
picture layout options. Placing the text on top just overlays the picture.
In your case, you could add another text box to print on top of the picture
with the other text wrapped around it.
