    Thank you, thank you! I’ve been trying to find technique for wrapping around images forever. You explained it simply and quickly! I truly appreciate it. I had an image that I wanted text INSIDE and still observe it’s edges – because you put me in the right place, I was able to select INVERT to the edges that it detected.

    You rock. Thank you for pdf!!

    When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- Palio checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!

    Why not add one more VERY important thing: When you wrap the text – which is easily dealt with – to get extra space around the object so the type doesn’t come too close to the object, the ONLY spacer to hit is the “top” edge space. If this was mentioned, sorry I didn’t see it. I finally noticed it was “grayed out.” Whew!
