Question
Hi,
I'm having a strange problem. I'm not having any options showing up in the Text Wrap window. In other words, I can click on text wrap, and the window opens up, but there is nothing to select. I select the image using the black pointer. I have a text box underneath the image. I've also tried this all in reverse (put text over the image, although that's not how I remembered doing it). I've installed any updates and I've used this feature previously. I've restarted InDesign, tried it on new and existing documents to no avail. I keep thinking it must be something simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I also just opened a document where I actually used text wrap and when I select the image that has text wrapped around it, there are still no options in the text wrap dialog box. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your time.

Hey Susan,

That is a strange behavior that is happening. I would recommend that you reset your preferences and restart your machine.

here is a link with steps on how to do that.
