...get the text to wrap around objects on the page and not type right on top of it?

I have a paragraph going and a spot where I have a graphic. I want to continue the paragraph and have the text just wrap around.

Does this make sense?

Hey Amy...

I understand what you mean but I just couldn't get it to do it. I bet Dave Grundy, Doug Downey, or Bob Darnell would be your best bets to find out how to do that. They are the most knowledgable, in my opinion, in Coreldraw of all the people I know.

Doug Downey : design@freshink.net

Dave Grundy : dave.grundy@quadro.net

Bob Darnell : bob.darnell@home.com

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Have a great one!

Hi Amy,

Not sure exactly what you're wanting but you can wrap text around objects like a ball by creating the object and the text separately. Place the text over the ball or object and go to the distortion flyout menu and use the "interactive envelope tool" to form the text around the ball. There is probably a better way but it may work for you.

Amy, place the graphic where you want it in your paragraph. Then right click on the graphic and a menu will pop up with a checkbox for 'wrap paragraph text'. If you move the graphic to another place in the paragraph, or add more copy or something causing the text to re-flow, it still keeps the offset till you right click again and uncheck it.

This is true for individual items, groups of items and bitmaps. After checking 'wrap', right click again and scroll down to properties to set a specific offset value for the text. You are now "Power Using" Corel!!!
