PUB2002: Text Does Not Wrap When Viewed as a Web Page (279392)

SYMPTOMS

In a text box with text that wraps to the left or the right of an object, such as a picture, the text does not wrap when you view the text box in Web Page Preview (on the File menu), or when you publish the document as a Web page to a Web site. Depending on the positions of the object and text box, the text either covers the object or disappears behind it.

CAUSE

The new Publisher 2002 workspace allows any publication to be viewed as a Web page. However, not all features that can be used in a printed document are converted to Web page format. The text wrap settings are intended for use with printed documents.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use one of the following methods.

Method 1

Modify the layout of your publication so that it does not require wrapped text.

Method 2

Replace the affected objects with an enhanced metafile (EMF). To do this, follow these steps:

Click to select your text box. While holding CTRL, click each of the objects that the text wraps around until all of the objects are selected. Click the Group icon.
Right-click the grouped object, and then click Save as Picture.
Click Enhanced Metafile.
Save the picture to the location that you want on your computer's hard disk.
Insert the saved picture by pointing to Picture on the Insert menu, and then clicking From File.
Delete the original objects from the page.
