The key to setting up text surround images in Word is to change the image format and adjust the position. First click on the picture, select "Embedding" in the "Arrangement" section of the "Image Format" toolbar, cancel "Embedding" and select "Four-round" or "Tight"; then drag the picture to the appropriate position, use the alignment tool to optimize the layout, and fine-tune the margins in "Other Layout Options". If it does not take effect, check whether it is still "Embedding", whether it is located in the text box or table, or whether it is used with a Word version that does not support this function.

It is not difficult to wrap the text around the picture in Word. The key is to choose the right method and settings. Many people find that the text is always arranged in a row after inserting the picture and will not automatically walk around the picture. This is actually the default layout method has not been changed. The following steps can help you.

Select an option other than "embedded" in the picture format

By default, the pictures inserted in Word are "embedded". In this mode, the text will not be circulated and can only appear on and below the picture. You need to manually change the way the image wraps around:

• Click on Image → Find the "Image Format" toolbar (usually at the top)
• Find the "Wrap Text" button in the "Arrange" section
• Select non-embedded options such as "Four-side" or "Tight"

In this way, the text will be arranged according to the shape of the picture, especially when using "tight type", Word will try to fit the edges of the picture.

Adjusting the image position can make the layout more natural

Even if the surround method is set, the position of the picture will affect the overall effect. You can try dragging the image to different locations on the page to see which layout is the most comfortable:

• Picture to the left or right: suitable for text surround
• Center placement: suitable for displaying large images separately, with text separated from each other
• Use the "Alignment Tool": There are alignment options in "Image Format" → "Arrangement", which can help you align pictures and text more neatly

Sometimes the gaps around the picture seem too big, you can also click "Environment Text" → "Other Layout Options" to fine-tune the margins inside.

If you encounter problems, you can check this

If you have already set up a wrapping method but it has no effect, there may be several reasons:

• The picture is still in "embedded" mode and has not really switched successfully
• The picture is placed in a text box or table, and the surround function will be restricted at this time.
• Use Word web or simplified version, and some advanced typesetting features are not available

It is recommended to copy the content to the desktop version of Word first, and then check whether the surround settings are effective.

Basically, these operations are not complicated but are easy to ignore details, such as the default format and picture position. After adjustment, the layout will look much better.
