Runaround/Text Wrap in InDesign

InDesign – Angel or DevilWe all know how to stop text running over images in InDesign – go Window > Text Wrap (Command/Control -T if you have selected the Quark keyboard shortcuts) and choose one of the self-explanatory icons.

But what if you want some text boxes to wrap around images and others to flow over? Move to front like Quark? No! Go Object > Text Frame Options and check Ignore Text Wrap whilst having the text box selected. However, if you do want Text Wrap to work like Quark’s Runaround in Preferences (Command/Control -K), under the Composition tab, you can check Text Wrap Only Effects Text Beneath. Text beneath an item with Text Wrap applied will flow around the object – move the text to front and it will flow over the object.
