Runaround is a great way to make a page visually distinctive.
Running text around all sides of an item
To run text around all sides of an item, select a text box with either the Text Content tool
or the Item tool , and then:
• (Windows only): Display the Text tab of the Modify dialog box (Item menu), and then
check Run Text Around All Sides
• (Mac OS X only): Use the Text Box tab of the Measurements palette.
The Run Text Around All Sides preference is set by default.
Whether text runs around three sides or all sides of an item is determined by the text box,
and not by the items that obstruct the text. This is the only runaround control that acts
on the text box itself. All other runaround controls act on the item(s) placed in front of
the text box.
Running text around lines and text paths
To apply text runaround to a line or text path in front of a text box, select the line or text
path, on Windows, choose Item > Runaround, or on Mac OS X use the Runaround tab
on the Measurements palette, and then choose an option from the Type drop-down
menu:
• Choose None to run text behind the line or text path.
• Choose Item to run text around the line or text path. You can specify the distance text
maintains from the top, bottom, left, and right edges of the selected item. If the selected
item is a text path, other text will only run around the path, not the text on the path.
• Choose Manual to create an editable runaround path. You can specify a new path's distance
from text, and then you can modify that path on Windows by choosing Item > Edit >
Runaround and on Mac OS X by choosing the appropriate field from the Runaround tab
of the Measurements palette. For information about modifying a runaround path, see
"Fine-tuning a runaround path" and "Editing a runaround path."
