It's the only method. Don't even try to insert (or at least not to position)
the image until editing is complete. Then use the following technique:
1. At the end of the page preceding the one where you want the image, insert
a page break.
2. Insert the image, In Line With Text, and another page break (if
necessary).
3. Your text will continue on the following page.
If you're really lucky, you'll have been able to make the break at the end
of a paragraph. If not, you'll have to fake it. If your paragraphs are
left-aligned and have no first-line indent, there will be no problem. If
they are justified or have a first-line indent (or both), use the following
techniques to simulate the wrap.
1. On the page before the image, end the last line with a line break (so the
line will be justified). Format the runover line (which will be just the
paragraph mark) as 1 point font size. If that is not enough, make it Hidden.
2. On the page after the image, remove the first-line indent from the first
paragraph or (preferably) apply an unindented style. I use both Body Text
and Body Text First Indent in my books, so I just apply the unindented Body
Text style to such paragraphs.
If the image is truly full-page size, you might be able to get away with
this variation: just insert the image, In Line With Text, in the text
paragraph itself, between the last line of the preceding page and the first
line of the following page. This will work, of course, only if the image is
full margin width; if it has to be centered and the paragraph you insert it
into isn't centered, it won't work. Similarly, if it's not full-page height,
then some text would follow it on the page.

Hi Suzanne,
Thanks for the response.
Can you elaborate on the statement "You can have a full-page inline image,
faking the wrap"?
Is this a method to achieve what I was looking for?
Thanks,
Pete

The reason you haven't found anything is that Word can't wrap text around
full-page images. You can have a full-page inline image, faking the wrap,
but if the graphic is wrapped, it has to be anchored to text on the same
page.

...
I am trying to wrap text around an image that takes up an *entire* page.
I
just can't get this to work. I have tried all settings on the image
only,
tried putting a frame around the image, putting it in a table,
everything.
The best I can get is to have the whole image on a single page except
for
one
line of text that just doesn't want to go away.
I have scoured the web for this issue but there doesn't seem to be
anything
addressing issues with full page images.
Help!!!
