Text wrapping refers to the way text flows around or interacts with an image or object in a document. Text wrapping determines how an object within your document interacts with the text surrounding it. You have various choices to control how closely the text wraps around the object. Start by choosing an image and then pick a text wrapping option.
Different Methods to Wrap Text in Google Docs
In Google Docs, you have several options for text wrapping around images, similar to those found in Microsoft Word. There are five image-wrapping choices in Google Docs:
- In line with text: Default setting; image stays aligned with text.
- Wrap text: Text flows around the image with spacing, but image can’t go before text.
- Behind text: Image placed behind text; hidden if overlapped.
- Break text: Image breaks lines and rearranges text without affecting word spacing.
- In front of text: Image placed over text, appearing above it.
