Graphical Object Context Menu Options -- Reports

When you right-click on a graphical object in a report, the context menu that is displayed provides controls to align, layer, resize, and control text wrapping around the graphical object. These are the "Wrap Text", "Bring to Front", and "Send to Back" tools.

These options are made available for illustrations added using the Picture tool, and for text boxes added using the Text Box tool.

Note: These options are not available for pictures inserted using the Inline Picture tool.

Wrap Text: Click this option to select the text wrapping option you want applied to the image. When you click this option, a submenu of options is displayed. These options control how text wraps around the picture.

• Square: The text will be continuous, but it will skip over the area taken up by the picture.
• Tight: Same as Square, but the margin between the text and the picture is smaller.
• Through: Same as Square.
• Top and Bottom: The text will skip from the end of the line preceding the picture at the top, to the beginning of the first available line following the picture at the bottom.
• Behind Text: The text will not wrap at all, and the picture will be layered behind the text.
• In Front of Text: The text will not wrap at all, and the picture will be layered in from the text.
