Word: Let text flow around pictures - how it works

Word separates images from text by default. You can also let the text flow around an image - as in newspapers or magazines. We show you exactly how this works in this practical tip.

Word: integrate the image into the text

1. Open your document in Word.
2. Click on "Graphics" on the "Insert" tab and select an image.
3. As soon as you insert the image, the "Image Tools" appear at the top.
4. Select the "Format" tab and click the "Line break" button.
5. Here you set the "Suitable" option.
6. You can then either place the image in the text with the mouse or use the "Position" button to align it precisely.
