Change the shape of a text wrap
1 Using the Direct Selection tool
, select an object that has a text wrap applied to it. If the text wrap boundary is the
same shape as the object, the boundary is superimposed on the object.
2 Do any of the following:
•
To uniformly change the distance between the text and wrap object, specify offset values in the Text Wrap panel.
•
To edit the text wrap boundary, use the Pen tool
and Direct Selection tool.
Editing text wrap boundary
If you manually change the shape of a text wrap path, User-Modified Path is selected in the Type menu and remains
dimmed in the menu. This indicates that the path of the shape has changed.
If you want to use the original clipping path rather than the edited text wrap boundary, choose Same As Clipping from
the Type menu in the Text Wrap panel.
Apply text wrap on master page items
If the Apply To Master Page Only option is selected, you must override a master page item on a document page to wrap
text around it. If this option is deselected, text on both master pages and document pages can wrap around the master
page items without the master page items being overridden.
1 Select the object on the master page.
2 From the Text Wrap panel menu, select or deselect Apply To Master Page Only.
This option is available only when an object on a master page is selected and has a wrap applied to it.

Wrapping text around anchored objects
If you apply text wrap to an anchored object, the wrap affects the lines of text in the story that follow the anchor marker.
However, the wrap doesn’t affect the line of text that includes the anchor marker or any lines before it.
