Having trouble figuring out how to wrap text around an image in Microsoft Word? If you're trying to make your Word document look more polished and professional by aligning text with your images, you're in the right place.
Let's get started and transform your plain Word documents into something more visually appealing.
1. Place your cursor where you want the image to appear in the document.

8. Click on the down arrow of "Wrap Text" in the "Arrange" section.
9. From the dropdown menu, choose a text wrapping option:
• "Square" to wrap text around the square edges of the image.
• "Tight" for wrapping text around the actual shape of the image, useful for non-rectangular images.
• "Top and Bottom" if you want the text to stay above and below the image without wrapping around it.
• "Behind Text" to place the image as a background behind the text.
• "In Front of Text" to have the image overlap the text.
10. After choosing a wrapping option, click and drag the image to reposition it anywhere in the document.
