Question

Wrapping Text around picture

I have some slides in my project that require text to be wrapped around a picture. I have looked at the following question Wrapping text around an image and took LilyBiri's advice and used the polygon tool to draw the bounding box area that I needed.

This seems to work while working in captivate but when I publish it and throw it on a website, the text then takes the form of the re-sizing box of the polygon I made.

This seems like pretty basic functionality that should already exist. Am I missing something?

I think you are probably better off doing this in another app such as Photoshop or InDesign and then importing as a graphic rather than trying to do it in Captivate.

That is what I was afraid of.

Thank you for the timely response.

Your reference to what I wrote for a much older version of Captivate is no longer valid. The former drawing objects (including the polygon) had indeed flowing text, but the present shapes (appeared with CP6) do not have that feature anymore. I am mentioning this to clarify, also for other readers of this thread. It was a step back, regret it very much.
