Wrapping Text

Wrapping text around clip art saves space and makes the document look more professional.

Format, Picture, choose layout tab. Select the style of wrap you’d like your text to do around your graphic.

INLINE wrapping is still a style of formatting. It just doesn’t give you much control over your picture. (for placement)
