Adobe Indesign CS4 – Wrapping text around an object

The text in the pull quote is difficult to read because the main story text does not wrap around the text frame, but instead overlaps it. You’ll wrap the main story text around the edges of the pull-quote text frame, so that the text from the main story does not cover up the pull quote.

  1. Make sure that the pull-quote frame is selected.
  2. Choose Window > Text Wrap. In the Text Wrap panel, click the third button from the left side. This causes text to wrap around the object’s shape.
  3. Type .1389in into one of the Offset fields and press Return.
  4. Close the Text Wrap panel. You can always access this panel and other panels from the Window menu as you need them.

    NOTE: Once you wrap the text around the pull-quote frame, the main article text may be overset. If so, Live Preflight reports the error in the lower-left corner of the document window.

  5. Choose File > Save.
