Enter the number of columns you want in the Number (Columns) text box, and the 
number of rows you want in the Number (Rows) text box. You can either enter the number 
in the text boxes or use the buttons on the sides of the text boxes to increase or decrease 
the values. The dialog box adjusts the column-width and row-height values to fill the 
selected text box.
Change the dimensions of the column width, row height, column gutter, row gutter, 
or overall width and height by entering a new value in the corresponding text box or by 
using the buttons to increase or decrease the values.
Do any of the following:
To change the direction of vertical or horizontal text flow from left-to-right or right-to-
left, click the Text Flow buttons.
To preview the effect, select Preview. 
To add path guides along the row and column edges, select Add Guides.
Click OK.
Wrapping type around a graphic object
You can make type wrap around a graphic object using the Make Wrap command. You 
must use area type when wrapping type around a path; point type and path type do not 
wrap around an object. You can make one or several type containers wrap around any 
number of objects.
Important: You cannot wrap type around an open path.
To wrap type around a graphic object:
Make sure that the object or objects around which you want to wrap type are in front of 
the type. If necessary, use either the Bring to Front or Paste in Front command to position 
the objects in front.
If desired, use any of the drawing tools to outline a graphic boundary for the area 
around which the type wraps. (This is necessary if you want to wrap text around a placed 
EPS file or bitmap image.) If the boundary is stroked or filled, it must be behind the graphic 
element but in front of the type.
You can use an unpainted graphic boundary to control how closely type wraps around 
an object. A boundary is useful to wrap type around a large type container consisting of a 
single piece of type, such as a large initial capital letter. You can then adjust and resize 
the unpainted boundary using a selection tool to achieve the exact kind of text wrap 
you want.
Using the selection tool  , select the type containers that you want to wrap and the 
graphic object around which to wrap them.
Choose Type > Wrap > Make. The type wraps around the graphic object.
To separate a wrapped type container from a graphic object: 
Select the type container or graphic object.
Choose Type > Wrap > Release.
