Wrap Options

When you want to set the text wrap around an object, open the Text Wrap palette from the Window menu (or press Command-Option-W/Ctrl-Alt-W) If necessary, choose Show Options from the palette's flyout menu to see the contour options at the bottom of the palette (see Figure 71-1).

Both QuarkXPress and InDesign let you set the text wrap for almost any objectgraphic frame, text frame, path, text path, or contentless frame. To set a default runaround in XPress (for new objects you create), you set your choices in Tool Preferences. In InDesign, you set your default options on the Text Wrap palette with no object selected.

QuarkXPress lets you create three types of runarounds: None, Picture Bounds (a rectangular runaround to the edges of a picture), and a contour which can be shaped around an object. InDesign gives you five choices. The first threeNo Text Wrap, Wrap Around Bounding Box, and Wrap Around Object Shapecorrespond to the XPress options. In addition, you can choose the Jump Object option (which forces text in any column touching the text wrap boundary to skip past the object), or Jump to Next Column (which forces text into the next column or text frame when it encounters a text wrap).

To create a text wrap in InDesign, select the object you want to wrap text around with the Selection or Direct Selection tool, and click one of the buttons in the palette. When you choose a rectangular wrap, you have the opportunity to set offset values on four sides of the object.
