Wrap a table with text

The table for which text wrapping is configured should not contain the following objects:

•Shapes

•Formulas (added in the desktop version of MyOffice Text/third-party editors)

•Table of contents

•Cross-references

•Footnotes

To adjust the text wrapping of the table, do the following:

1.Place the entire table on one page. If the table does not fit on one page, break it up into multiple tables.

2.Place the cursor in any cell of the table or select any table element/table as a whole.

If text wrapping is enabled for a table that is on multiple pages, the table is cropped and only the beginning of the table is visible on the first page.

3.Open the table settings window in one of the following ways:

•In the Command menu, select Table > Table settings.

•On the Toolbar, in the Table section, click .

•Right-click to open the context menu and select Table settings.

4.Select the Enable text wrapping check box.

5.Specify the way the table is aligned and, if necessary, select Left indent.

6.Use it to specify the distance from the borders of the table to the surrounding text on the Left, Right, Top and Bottom.

7.Click to close the Table settings pane.

If wrapping is enabled in the table, it is not possible to select a range of cells. You can select only a single column. To make the selection, hold the cursor over the border of the upper cell of the column. An arrow pointing down will appear. Left-click.

You can quickly move a table for which you have set up text wrapping to another location in the document. To do this, proceed as follows:

1.Hold the cursor over the table.

2.Click the button that appears in the upper-left corner of the table.

3.Hold down the left mouse button and move the table to the desired location.
