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 , display the Text tab of the Modify dialog box (Item menu), and
then check Run Text Around All Sides.
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, choose Item > Runaround, 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 by choosing Item > Edit > Runaround. For
information about modifying a runaround path, see "Fine-tuning a runaround path" and
"Editing a runaround path."
Running text around text boxes
To apply text runaround to a text box in front of another text box, select the front text
box, choose Item > Runaround, and then choose an option from the Type drop-down
menu:
• Choose None to run text behind an active text box.
