Cannot wrap text

I am creating a book that is mostly images with some text. I layout the images, add the text and I cannot make it wrap around the image. I have chosen 'object causes wrap' but it keeps overlapping. If I drop an image into a text page in the template, no problem, so I'm missing a step. Thanks.

Hi gabin,

iBooks Author: Wrap text around an object


Specifically -

Adjust text around an object

  1. If the Wrap inspector isn’t open, click Inspector in the toolbar and click the Wrap Inspector button.

  2. Select the object.

  3. In the Wrap inspector, select “Object causes wrap.”

  4. To specify how the text wraps around the object, click a button below the “Object causes wrap” checkbox.

  5. To change the amount of space between the object and the surrounding text, use the Extra Space field.

  6. If the object isn’t rectangular and you want the text to follow the object’s outline, click the right Text Fit button.

  7. If the object has an alpha channel (transparency), you can make text overlap (show through) the transparent area by adjusting the value in the Alpha field.


You can also choose an option from the Wrap pop-up menu User uploaded file in the format bar to wrap text around an object.
