You can add a great deal of visual pizzazz to a document by inserting an image. This can be a picture that illustrates a concept, a digital photo of a person, an event described in your text, a chart, your company logo, or simply a striking or fun bit of clip art. Whatever the image, it will look better and your document will read more smoothly if the text wraps around the image.

Unfortunately, Word’s default wrapping behavior doesn’t provide the best results for most images. The default wrapping is called In Line With Text, and it means that Word moves the image along with the text as you insert and delete text before the image. Unfortunately, the text lines up with the bottom edge of the image, so for all but the smallest images, this creates a huge and unsightly gap in the document. Follow these steps to fix this:

1. Click the image.
2. Click the Format tab.
3. For a drawing or SmartArt graphic, click Arrange.
4. To set the position of the image within the page, click Position, and then click one of the preset position options, shown in Figure 2.13. Note that the options in the With Text Wrapping section automatically apply Square text wrapping (see step 5 for the details).
   
5. To set the text wrapping, click Text Wrapping and then click one of the following options:
   In Line With Text—Moves the image along with the text as you insert and delete text before the image.
   Square—Wraps the text around the image’s frame.
   Tight—Wraps the text along the edges of the image itself.
   Behind Text—Moves the image behind the text layer.
   In Front of Text—Moves the image in front of the text layer.
   Top and Bottom—Stops the text above the image and resumes the text on a new line below the object.
   Through—This is the same as the tight text wrapping, except Word also wraps the text into any open space within the image.
   Edit Wrap Points—This option (which is only available if you select the Tight text wrapping) enables you to specify exactly where Word wraps text around the image. This can be useful if the image is an unusual shape because the text may wrap in a strange way when you use the Tight text wrapping. When you click Edit Wrap Points, Word displays a series of edit handles around the image. Click and drag the edit handles to define the edges around which Word wraps the surrounding text in a Tight text wrap.
   More Layout Options—Displays the Advanced Layout dialog box, which enables you to set precise values for position and wrapping.
