Question
I am trying to get text to wrap around a head shot in an InDesign table cell. I imported the picture into a frame that I created in the cell. Is it possible to wrap text around graphics in table cells? (I'm working in CS 3.) Thanks so much for your help

Answer
Hi Rita,

You can achieve what you are trying to accomplish, but it is more difficult than it should be.

1. Select the photo with your black arrow and cut it to the clipboard.
2. With your type tool, click inside the your table cell in the beginning on the text (top left).
3. Paste your graphic into the text, it will become an inline graphic.
4. Select the graphic with your black arrow and go to the object menu > anchored objects > options.
5. Change the position from "inline" to "custom" and click OK.
6. Select the photo with your black arrow and position it where you want it to be inside the cell and apply the text wrap accordingly.
