Tutorial
Run Text Around the Photograph

Even though the picture block is locked into position, you can still select some options for the way other objects interact with its contents.

  1. Press Command-4 to switch to Actual Size view.

  2. Scroll the page in the window so you can see as much of the upper portions of the introductory text and the kachina as can fit in the window at one time. Part of the introductory text is covered by the picture block. That's because each object you create in a Sahafi document is placed on top of any existing objects on a page.

  3. Select the text block by clicking it with the object pointer.

  4. Choose Move to Front from the Object menu. The text block moves in front of the picture block, and the text it contains runs across the top of the kachina.

  5. Click the picture block to select it.

  6. Choose Specifications from the Object menu. The Picture Block Specifications dialog box appears. It contains information about the picture block, including its position and size on the page . The current Runaround option is Off. That's why the text in the text block ignored the picture block underneath it. The Runaround option appears in a shadowed rectangle, just like the Units options in the Preferences dialog box.

  7. Press the current Runaround option and choose Graphic from the list of options that appears. Graphic replaces Off as the Runaround option for the picture block.

  8. Click OK. The dialog box disappears, and the introductory text runs around the left edge of the photograph of the kachina. The introductory text and the photograph are complete. Now you're ready to learn another way to resize an object.
