It would be usful to have a object wrap feature for the text editor so that a object or clip art could be inserted into the text and have the text flow around or wrap around the object.

Hi comfixer,

A couple of features on our list for a future release are the ability to insert an object into a text object (so the text wraps around it), and the ability to combine text objects (so the text flows from one to another).

Thanks for the feedback

Until such time as a specific text wrapping feature is available, it would be helpful to be able to edit text right inside the frame on the work spcae, so we may judge where to put reurns and spaces. Meanwhile, I shrink the editing window to fot as closely to the object to wrapped as possible...and then put in the spacves, returns, etc.

I am not sure I understand (I seem to be saying that a lot lately. I hope I am not losing my mind).

The text should wrap the same in the work window as it does in the text editor. In the text editor, it should wrap at the right margin, That is, the point in the ruler bar where the little triangle is and where the color changes from white to gray. Dragging that triangle will adjust the width of the text object and so the point where the text wraps. The only exception to that is when a word is longer than the text object’s width. When that is the case, the text is wrapped in the text editor but not it the work window (and not in the HTML page).

Is that not happening for you? (or have I missed your point?)
