Word 5.00: Contouring Text Around a Graphic

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The “Using Microsoft Word” Version 5.0 manual, on Page 412, does not clearly explain the way to contour text around a graphic. Word Version 5.00 does not automatically contour the text even though the frame width has been set smaller than the graphic. Setting the frame width smaller simply allows the text to overlap the graphic as needed.

To contour the text, determine where the line should break and insert a soft return (SHIFT+ENTER). This must be done for each line crossing into the graphic at the appropriate location.
