WordML - wrap element

[David Thielen]

Hi;

What's the difference for a

<v:shape>...<w10:wrap type="through" anchorx="page" anchory="page"/>

and a

<v:shape>...<w10:wrap type="none" anchorx="page" anchory="page"/>

It seems to me that none and through are the same thing.

??? - thanks - dave

Hello Dave,

W10:wrap type="none" means the wrapType is ignored; and type="through"
stands for the "Through" text wrapping in Word2003->Format
Shape->Layout->Advanced tab. To better demonstrate the difference, please
draw a triangle in Word 2003, double click the shape to bring up the
Formatting dialog. Turn to the Layout tab->Advanced. This dialog box lists
all the wrapping styles with sample pictures to illustrate their meanings:

<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:enumeration value="topandbottom" />
<xsd:enumeration value="square" />
<xsd:enumeration value="none" />
<xsd:enumeration value="tight" />
<xsd:enumeration value="through" />
</xsd:restriction>

"square" -> the Square option in the dialog
"tight" -> the Tight option in the dialog
"through"-> the Through option in the dialog
"topandbottom"-> the Top and Bottom option in the dialog
"none"->the rest options in the dialog

Please let me know if you have any other concerns, or need anything else.

Hi David,

I did that and it looks the same to me for none and through. What
should I see different?

Doesn't look the same to me...

Most types of text wrapping wrap in a "square", no matter how the
object appears on-screen. "Through" lets the text wrapping conform
to the contours of the Shape. "None" places the shape in front of
(or behind or in) the text - there is no wrapping at all (but there
is ZOrder).

Where I don't see a difference is between "Through" and "Tight",
although I seem to remember a discussion - long ago - where this
was made clear (special circumstance).

Hello Dave and Cindy,

Cindy is right. Dave, you may acquire a better understanding by playing
with a basic shape (e.g. a triangle), and some texts in a Word document.

And for Cindy's question:
What's the difference between "Through" and "Tight".

Below is the definition of "Through" from a book "Word 2000 in a Nutshell:
A Power User's Quick Reference" by Walter J. Glenn. It will help you with
the question.

<quote>
"Though" is similar to the "tight" wrapping option, but it wraps inside any
parts of the object that are open. After applying this style, open the
Picture toolbar, click the Text Wrapping button, and then click Edit Wrap
Points to display the dotted line indicating the wrapping perimeter for the
object. Drag the line or the sizing handles to adjust the perimeter.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can help.

Hi Jialiang,

I thought what you quote should be the case, but I tested yesterday, exactly
as described, and saw no difference. No matter where I made the open area, nor
how large, no text moved into it...

Below is the definition of "Through" from a book "Word 2000 in a Nutshell:
A Power User's Quick Reference" by Walter J. Glenn. It will help you with
the question.

Hi Cindy, have you changed the "Wrap Points" of the shape (see the quote in
my last reply)? By default, the wrap points for "Through" is the same as
the contour of "Tight", thus you did not see the difference. Would you
please modify the "Wrap Points" by following the steps in my last reply,
and tell me whether it works as expected now?

Hi Jialiang,

have you changed the "Wrap Points" of the shape

OK, I've got it now. I was only seeing the other Points
(the ones the change how the free-hand Shape is changed).

Thanks <g>!
