Well, let me try once more

[Billybob]

I Have inserted a large textbox on a blank word document page.

In this large textbox, I have a smaller textbox that contains a graphic.

I want to paste text in the larger textbox that text-wraps around the
smaller textbox containing the image.

How is this done? So far the text just simply goes behind the image instead
of wrapping. Would some please help me with this?

I hope this explanation is clear enough. I'm creating DVD Jewel Case
inserts.

Running Windows and Office XP Home.

 

[JimO]

I just responded to your other message. Rather than using
two separate text boxes, I would create one text box and
insert the text, then insert a graphic into that same
text box. you can then change the layout of the graphic.

Thanks, Jim! Doing it like you suggested. I can resize the picture, but I
can't seem to position it where I want it. I get the drag sign, but it just
springs back when I let go.

 

[Anthony Giorgianni]

This seems like it would be much easier by not using text boxes at all. Just
insert image, move where you want and let the text surround it, no?

Well, that would be a good suggestion, but I'm creating CD/DVD Jewel Case
inserts fro my DVD Video library and I have to stay in the confines of the
perforated lines template. I'm sure my problem isn't unique. It's just
something most people probably aren't that familiar with. I done textwrap
before, but not on a confined space of a jewel case template. Right now I'm
very frustrated because I can't figure it out. I have about 500 inserts to
do since I've transferred from VHS tapes to DVD format.
Thanks for your suggestion! Maybe we'll still find the answer, yet.

Best regards,
Bill

Text in a text box cannot be wrapped around anything. Would it work to
change the document margins to the size of the label, or use a table?

Hi Bill

I think the problem is that you don't seem to be able to put another wrapped
item (text box, or graphic that is not 'in line') within the text box. Could
you use a table cell instead of the text box? You would then have normal
wrapping facilities, I think.

Now that MVPs are involved, I'm bowing out to sidelines, from where I will
watch quietly and with great interest :O)

Suzanne and Anthony, it sounds like you are on the right track with this
project. Since I have to include text and small movie posters and photos in
such a confined space, it does change how it's achieved obviously. Wrap is
not absolutely necessary, but wrapping text sure does look so much more
professional. The perforated templates include the front, back, and the
sides. Anthony, I'm not that familiar with your name (and your answer was
good), but I always know if Suzanne is involved in an answer, "I can
generally take it to the bank".
Thank you all for your time and responses. What a great NG!

 

[Billybob]

I'll let you know how it turns out.

 

[Graham Mayor]

Given that this is a major project to produce DVD inserts, have you
considered using disc labelling software? Surething is dramatically better
than Word for this task and easily capable of producing professional results
with very little effort.

Yes, thank you, Graham. I am thinking that may be my next step. If you've
ever done one of these DVD inserts, then you know what a major chore it is.
It actual takes between 1 and 2 hours just to do one insert in Word. I also
wish I were able to label the DVD disks directly as well, but you have to
have a printer that will print directly to printable disks. The paper ones
that work on CDs will not work on DVDs, because of the increased speed and
sensitivity, gummed paper or plastic makes the DVD wobble out of balance.
Thanks for the advise, Graham. I really appreciate you MVPs. By the way, I
have already completed about 300 DVD inserts, but none with text wrap that
would make them look so much better.

We are getting way off topic here

I have not had any problems with adhesive labels on data discs at speeds of
up to 48X. Granted it is essential that the labels are fitted symetrically
on the disc, to which end the CD Stomper applicator is excellent. CD Stomper
glossy labels are the best, but are more expensive than most.

It will take you minutes - not hours - to do the labels in Surething
www.surething.com - and you can have text wrapping, columns, background
graphics, auto-numbering etc. I think there's a demo.

I believe that both Canon and Epson has recently brought out InkJets that
print direct to Disks and they are now a more reachable price. If you are
printing that many disks, a direct print to disk printer may pay for itself
in economy of time.

Take a look at the Epson R300 around 160USD. I believe this is a C84 with
extra features.

Such printers probably come bundled with software to do the job, too, don't
they?

The other problem of this approach is sourcing discs with a surface that
will accept the print legibly. Such discs will almost certainly not be
available at the local PC shop, where disc manufacturers like to advertise
their wares on the disc labels.

Printable blank CDs and DVDs are readily available from many retailers.
Certainly the major brands such as Memorex and TDK supply them.

I know that we are way off topic here, but to put a little input on
writeable DVDRs. You can order the same quality on-line at greatly reduced
prices starting at about $1.20 per disk if bought in quantities of say 50s,
or 100s.
Check out the links!

Thanks guys. Back OT again. I'm going to pester you once more in a new post
Suzanne,Graham, and Margaret. Since your email posts and advise concerning
the word text wrapping on the Jewel DVD inserts, I can now wrap text, but I
have one more problem. I'll post up-to-date. I know there are easier ways
and good software, it's just that I want see if it can be done in Word XP
that way I want it done. One more hurdle and I'll have it made.
