How to Wrap Text around Pictures in MS Word

By default, whenever you insert a picture into a document with text, that text will only appear above and below it. However, there’s an easy way to flow your text around the side of your picture if you prefer.

To insert a picture, click in your document to select where you want to add it. Next, click the Insert tab, then Pictures (in the Illustrations section), navigate to and select your picture on your PC, then click Insert.

To wrap text around your picture, click it, then click the small icon that appears at its top right. By default, you’ll see the ‘In Line with Text’ option selected, but you can select any of the options in the With Text Wrapping section. Try each to see which works best for you. Once you’ve decided, you can click and move your picture to reposition it within your document – now all your text will flow around it.
