The Text Wrap panel lets you control how 
text wraps around an object. Here, the text 
wraps around the left side of the image’s 
transparency mask.
You can edit the shape of the text wrap with 
the Direct Selection tool.
You can reposition a selected guide 
by dragging it, using the arrow keys 
on your keyboard, or entering an X 
or Y value in the Control panel. You 
can also delete, lock, cut, copy, or 
paste guides like any other object. 
The Grids & Guides menu (View > 
Grids & Guides) provides several 
commands for showing, hiding,  
locking, and snapping objects to 
gridlines and guidelines.
InDesign also offers Smart Guides, 
which appear automatically as you 
drag, rotate, or resize objects on your 
page. Smart Guides help you align 
and distribute objects by giving you 
real-time feedback about the object 
you’re moving and its relation to 
other objects on the page. You can 
enable or disable Smart Guides by 
choosing View > Grids & Guides > 
Smart Guides.

In QuarkXPress, you use the  
Runaround controls in the Modify 
dialog box to control the flow of text 
around an object; in InDesign, you 
use the Text Wrap panel (Window > 
Text Wrap).
Select an icon at the top of the Text 
Wrap panel to indicate how text 
will flow when the selected object 
overlaps a text frame: No Text Wrap,

Shape, and the object is a graphic 
with a transparent background, you 
may want to choose Detect Edges, 
Photoshop Path, Alpha Channel, 
or Same As Clipping from the Type 
pop-up menu in the panel. These 
allow the text wrap to flow around 
the nonrectangular graphic.
InDesign normally allows text to 
wrap on both sides of an object. You 
can change this behavior in the Wrap 
To pop-up menu. The options are 
Right Side, Left Side, Both Right & 
The selected object is a native Photoshop 
image with a transparent background. Note 
that the text is on a layer above the image.
