How to position text for an image in Word

You can use text wrapping as suggested by Emily so that continuous text runs along one side or the other of a picture.

If the text next to the picture is not continuous with the text above or below the picture, though, there is a method that's much more stable and trouble-free. Insert a two-cell table, and put the image in one cell (formatted as in line with text) and the text in the other.

The borders of the cells in this example are turned off; the dashed gridlines show where the borders could be, but they don't print and can also be turned off for viewing in the Table Layout ribbon.

Obviously, you could put the text in the left cell and the picture in the right cell. If you want the text above or below the picture, use a table that has one column and two rows.

You could, for example, create a one-row, two-column table, then insert the image in the left cell and the text in the right cell. Advantages of this approach include:

• the image and text will stay together if you move the table;

• you can center the text vertically alongside the image and/or rotate it;

• if you give the table a fixed row height and column width, any image you insert into one of its cells will be constrained to fit the space available, at the correct aspect ratio, without the need for post-insertion resizing.

Ideally, for the cell into which you'll insert the image, you would set the cell margins to 0 and the paragraph format to 0 space before & after. Once you've created such a table, you can copy/paste it to wherever else you might need the same layout.

Hello,

So you want to wrap text around a picture basically. Microsoft does have a tutorial video that explains how to do so: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/wrap...
