The key to implementing text surround images in Word is to correctly set the layout and surround methods of images. First, after inserting the picture, set its layout to "float above the text" or "below the text", and then select "tight type" or "four-circular type" through the "Picture Format" tab; then drag the picture to adjust the position, and fine-tune the size through the control points. If necessary, cancel the "lock mark" or set the "absolute position" to stabilize the layout; if the text is not surrounded, check whether the picture is embedded, whether it is in a table or text box, and whether the document view is "page view", and cancel the "Allow Word to adjust the position" to fix the picture position. Mastering these key points can successfully achieve the text surround effect.

It is not difficult to implement text surround images in Word. The key is to find the correct way to set it up. Although the operation is simple, many people may not find a place when using it for the first time, or the effect is wrong after setting it up. Let me explain it step by step.

1. Set the text wrapping method after inserting the picture

If you want to type text around the image in Word, you must first insert the image and then set its "Text Wrap" attribute.

• Click "Insert" → "Picture" in the menu bar and select an image to insert it into the document.
• Select the picture → Click the "Image Format" tab (or right-click the picture to select "Text Surround")
• Select the appropriate surround method in the drop-down menu, such as "tight type" or "four-circular type" is a relatively common option

Note: If the image is an "embedded" object embedded in a paragraph, text surround cannot be set. You need to set the layout of the image to "float above the text" or "below the text" to enable the wrapping function.

2. Adjust the position of the picture to make the text layout more natural

After setting up the surround method, you may also need to adjust the position of the picture to make the text layout look more coordinated.

• Drag the picture with the mouse to the appropriate position
• If the text layout is not ideal, you can try to drag the control points at the four corners of the picture to fine-tune the size
• If the picture is "locked" and does not move in a certain position, you can click "Image Format" → "Position" → Uncheck "Lock Mark"

Sometimes the image will jump to the top or bottom of the page because the default positioning is wrong. It is recommended to select "Align with Text" or "Absolute Position" in the "Position" option to obtain a more stable layout effect.

3. What should I do if I don’t wrap around the text?

If you follow the steps above, but the text still does not surround the image, you can check the following common questions:

• Is the image set to "embedded"? It must be a non-embedded layout such as "floating above the text"
• Are tables or text boxes used? In these structures, the word surround may not take effect
• Is the document view a "page view"? No wrapping effect can be seen in Draft view

Sometimes Word's layout logic will be "automatically adjusted", causing the position of the image you set to be changed. If you want the image position to be fixed, you can check the option other than "Allow Word to adjust position" in the "Position" setting.

Basically that's it. The whole process is not complicated, but some details are easy to ignore, especially the layout method and view settings. As long as you understand these key points, you can successfully achieve the effect of text surrounding the picture.
