instead of the text wrapping in the picture toolbar. thanks again.

Hi Rachelle,

You didn't mention the version of Word or if you're working
on a full page width or within multiple columns (Format=Columns)
in Word

It can sometimes get a bit tricky when you have the two types
of objects grouped together. If you use Draw=Text Wrapping
on the Drawing toolbar and 'tear off' that sub toolbar (click
on drag on the top of the flyout toolbar) so you can watch it
you may find that it stays greyed out if you've clicked on the
textbox (i.e. if you see the grey (x) (circled x) handles on
the picture. If that's the case, click back into the text
area then click on the top 'boundary' of the picture part
of the group (may need to vary this slightly depending on
the relative sizes and positions of the text box and the graphic)
and see if the text wrapping choices go 'live' for you.

What is the effect you're trying to achieve by grouping these
items together? There may be another approach that would work
better for you.

Hi! I am trying to group a picture and a text box in my newsletter. But once
I group the two, the wrapping function wont work and it ends up covering a
part of my newsletter. I started with both as floating graphic with square as
the text wrapping. Can anyone help me? How do I group objects and still have
it floating and able to turn on square text wrappng? Thanks.

Rachelle
