gumbo23 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 As per the images below, I am trying to wrap text around a PNG, but it will only sit around the edges of the image box, not flow around the edges of the images. How can I fix this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello @gumbo23, look on the toolbar for the icon 'Edit Wrap Outline'. See screenshot below: I think this should also be available on the Mac. Cheers, d.

Is there some reason why my PNGs are not accepting the text wrap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I did not see this in your screenshot. I just saw the 'Text Wrap' options. My fault. I just tried again. Once I click on the picture frame and then on 'Edit Wrap Outline' it works. What I notice from your screenshot is that the picture frame is located beneath the '(Master A)' layer. I had it happen to me in the past that this kept me from selecting objects. Does it make a difference if you move the picture frame further up in the layers hirarchy? d.

walt.farrell Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 My guess: The PNG does not have a transparent background, and therefore the text is wrapping around the white background. At least, I've seen that with this test file I just created. testwrap-transparency.afpub Edit: On page 1, the PNG does not have a transparent background. On page 2, it does.

With 'Edit Wrap Outline' it is possible to move the text wrap boundaries across the image, e.g. over the white areas. But it does not rely on any transparency in the PNG. Also note, @gumbo23 put the image into an image frame and according the screenshot the wrapping is targetting the image frame, not the PNG (I am not sure if that makes a difference, though). d.
