Customize image or shape text wrapping

You can control how an image or shape is placed in relation to text.

2. In the context menu, select the desired text wrapping option.

You can also use the Text wrapping tool on the Home tab, in the Image, Shape, or Line group.

Text wrapping options

• In line with text — the object is placed within a paragraph. Text breaks before the object and resumes after it.
• Square — text flows around the rectangular boundary (frame) of the object.
• Top and bottom — text breaks at the object's top edge and continues below it.
• In front of text — the object is placed over the text and may overlap it.
• Behind text — the object is placed behind the text, serving as a background.
