Question
How do I get text to automatically run around a picture please?
Make sure that:
The type is "area type" (text that is typed in a text box that you dragged to define using the text tool versus type that is point type or path type).
The type is on the same layer as the wrapping shape/image.
The wrapping shape/image is IN FRONT OF the text.
Then, select the object and the text and Choose Object > Text Wrap > Make.
Good luck!

Expertise
I can help troubleshoot your Illustrator 9 through CS3 (and most CS4) problems and suggest the best way to get the results you need. Although I can help with some installation issues, my forte is prepress and how to use the tools and functions in the application itself.

I've been a graphic artist for over 20 years. Oh my God, 20 years.
