Inaccurate Irregular Wrap with Light-Colored Graphics

= Inaccurate Irregular Wrap with Light-Colored Graphics =

--- The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Publisher for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a ---

SUMMARY

=
If you format a light-colored graphic to have an irregular wrap, the resulting irregular wrap polygon may not accurately follow the edges of the image. Instead, the irregular wrap polygon may crop parts of the picture, even though the picture is still present.

WORKAROUND

=
To correct this problem, you must manually re-adjust the irregular wrap polygon as follows:

1. Select the graphic.

2. From the Format menu, choose Crop Picture.

3. The individual points of the irregular wrap polygon appear. Choose them one by one, and drag them outward to remove the cropping of the concealed portions of the graphic.

Note: If you need to add a point to the irregular wrap polygon, you can do so by holding down the SHIFT and CTRL keys, pointing to the place on the line where you want to add the point, and clicking the mouse button.

MORE INFORMATION

=
===

To apply an irregular wrap to a graphic, do the following:

1. Select the graphic.

2. From the Layout menu, choose Object Frame Properties.

3. In the Wrap Text Around area, choose Picture Only.

4. In the Margins area, specify the margin width for the wrap area on  the right and left sides of the graphic.

Note: If you leave this setting at zero (0), the margins will be the same all around the graphic. If you set it higher than zero, the graphic's right and left margins will be wider than its top and bottom margins.

5. Choose OK.

The new irregular wrap margin appears.
