The text box is anchored to the same text that you're trying to wrap around it. This can lead to unexpected results. Try moving the anchor to another paragraph on the same page, if available.

Despite creating a textbok with the Textwrapping option "Top and Bottom" there is text beneath the textbox. Please see the attached image before answering. Notice there is text beneath the textbox DESPITE indicating "Top and Bottom". Do not answer without addressing this. This is the question.

2023-07-08T23:26:34.6733333+00:00 This answer does not address the question. The user is familiar with the expected outcome of using "Top and Bottom". The user does not observe that behavior with the textbox utility. Please see the attached image and try again.

2023-07-09T01:07:13.61+00:00 Hi Stefan. That is not necessary. The image illustrates the problem. There is an object, a textbox, denoted with a black square around it [this is shown in the image]. The object has the text wrapping setting "Top and Bottom" selected [this is shown in the image]. At the bottom of the black square, despite the text wrapping setting "Top and Bottom", there is text BEHIND the textbok [this is shown in the image]. All features of this problem are accurately represented in the image.

OK, you mean that the text is partly hidden by the image. I didn't see that clearly in the screen shot until you pointed it out. Obviously, that is not supposed to happen. Since I can't immediately think of an explanation for the behavior, a sample document would still help.
