[Solved] Affinity Publisher: difficulties in Wrapping text around images

[Tormy]

Win 11 A.P. 2.5.6

I need to wrap a text around an image.

each time I select the text box I want to modify and then the wrap botton and acting in the Text Wrap Window, nothing happen to the text box.

The I try to select the text inside the text box itself: nothing occurs.

It's like all what I do is useless.
All of sudden, it worked and I was able to do what I needed, but this is not the way to go.

I can't work by trying things they are not working and all of sudden, do not knowing what I did, they start working.

Is there any trick to follow please?

Tutorials were not highlighting anything like this.

The Text Wrap settings should be applied to the image (or any other layer) you are wrapping the text around, not the Frame Text layer. Have you done that?

Note: Limited area screen-grabs are not usually useful. Please give full-screen screenshots in the future.

Ooookkk thanks a zillion! It worked fantastically now.

I always thought I had to apply it to the text box I was working with.
Thank you so much.

You’re welcome.

One way to remember which way round it goes is that each image (or other layer) can have its own Wrapping Style and Distances, so the wrap settings have to be applied to the things being wrapped around.

In other words, I (the layer) say how tightly my coat (the text) is wrapped around me.
