TEXT WRAPPING

Note that wrapping text around an object such as a photo does not work in PowerPoint as it does in Word, which means you need to do it manually:

  1. Position, align, and size your photo or object first.
  2. Create 2 or more text boxes that align with your photo and add your text. You may need to move text from one box to another to make sure it looks natural. The example above has 2 text boxes, one to the right of the photo, and a second that is below the photo and the full width of the column.
