NOTE: The wrapping styles are unavailable to select.



WORKAROUND

This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures.

Use one of the following methods to convert an object's wrapping style to "In line with text" or to a floating object.

Method 1: Convert the first floating shape to an inline shape.
ActiveDocument.Shapes(1).ConvertToInlineShape For more information about the ConvertToInlineShape method, in the Visual Basic Editor, click Microsoft Visual Basic Help on the Help menu, type ConvertToInlineShape in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topic.

Method 2: Convert the first inline shape to a floating shape.
ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).ConvertToShape NOTE: By default, the object floats with a "Top and bottom" advanced layout wrapping style.

For more information about the ConvertToShape Method, in the Visual Basic Editor, click Microsoft Visual Basic Help on the Help menu, type ConvertToShape in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topic.
