Working with Text Wrapping
When pictures are placed into long columns of text, you often need to change how the picture
interacts or wraps with surrounding text.
To create visual interest and maintain order on a page, it is a good design practice to keep
pictures at the end of a text frame, between columns of type or at the bottom of a page when
wrapping text around a graphic.
