'text wrap break'
i tried this in a document, not sure what it meant:
1) hit the 'insert' tab 2) clicked on 'break' 3) instead of page break (what i'd intended), i tried the 'text wrap break' the first time i couldn't see that anything had happened, so then i highlighted the paragraph i wanted to be on a new page, & repeated those 3 steps, and... 4) the paragraph disappeared. can anybody tell me what happens to the words when you do that, what "text wrap" does/its purpose? thank you in advance. |

'text wrap break'
The text wrapping break is useful only for text that is wrapped around a
graphic. If you want some text beside a graphic, but you want the next paragraph to start below the graphic, you insert a text-wrapping break. This is especially useful in Web pages, where the height of the text may vary as the width of the window is changed, so a given block of text can't be guaranteed to be the same height as the graphic or more. -- Suzanne S.

'text wrap break'
This one was a real mystery to me, too, until the first time I needed it. I
rarely use wrapped graphics in documents but luckily discovered it (or its use) when I had to do a page with several wrapped mug shots. This is one of the many Word features that were, so to speak, "imported" from HTML, and I use this type of break much more frequently in FrontPage. -- Suzanne S.
