Wrapping type around a graphic
object
You can make type wrap around any
graphic object, including type paths and
compound paths, by using the Make
Wrap command. You must use area type
when wrapping type around a path;
point type and path type do not wrap
around an object. You can make one or
several type containers wrap around
any number of objects.
To wrap type around a graphic object:
1
Make sure that the object or objects
around which you want to wrap type
are in front of the type. If necessary, use
the Bring to Front or Paste in Front
commands to position the objects
in front.
2 If desired, use any of the drawing
tools to outline a graphic boundary for
the area around which the type will
wrap. (This is necessary if you want to
wrap text around a bitmap image.) If the
boundary is stroked or filled, it must be
behind the graphic element but in front
of the type.
