Text wrapping a picture

There is a Position button found on the Format tab that becomes accessible whenever you have a picture, shape, SmartArt, Clip Art or chart selected in Word.

This little gem will do two things at once… change the Word Wrapping setting from “In line with text” to square and at the same time place the object within the document at the chosen location.

As you can see, the location choices are limited and yet exacting. You’ll be given choices to place it in the upper left, centre or right of the page. There’s the centre of the page vertically to the left margin, right margin or smack-dab in the centre of the document. To round your choices out, you’ve got the bottom of the document on the very left, right or centre of the document.
