Choose Square if your image is square and you want to wrap the text around the square border of your image. Choose Top and Bottom if you want the image to stay on its own line, but be between text on the top and bottom. Choose Tight to wrap text around a round or irregularly shaped image. Choose Through to customize the areas that the text will wrap. This is best if you want the text to be incorporated with your image in some way, or not follow the borders of the image file. This is an advanced setting, because you will pull or drag image points in and out of their original borders. Choose Behind Text to use the image as a watermark behind the text. Choose In Front of Text to display the image over the text. You may want to change the color, or it can make the text illegible.
