1. Select the Image

Images are normally placed between paragraphs. However, you can also position an image within the text and have the text wrap around it.

Click on the image to select it. You will know it is selected when the blue Image tab appears in the upper-left corner of the image element.

2. Turn On Text Wrapping

With the image selected, open the Positioning section in the left sidebar. Switch Wordwrap to ON.

3. Position the Image

By default it will be left aligned buy you can use the left or right alignment options in the Positioning section to move the image to the left or right of the text.

The surrounding text will automatically wrap around the image.

4. Adjust the Spacing Around the Image

After wrapping the text, you may want to add some space between the image and the surrounding text.

Open the Spacing section in the left sidebar and select Padding.

Choose where you want to add the spacing — top, bottom, left, right, or around the entire image element — and enter the amount of padding in pixels.

Tip: After wrapping text around an image, you may occasionally find that you cannot select the image again because the paragraph element overlaps it.

If this happens, right-click on the paragraph element and select Bump Backward.

You can then hover over the image and select it to continue editing.
