Text Wrap around image not working

I tried all the checks I found, but I can't seem to get text wrap to work.  The first image I dropped on my second page worked as it should, but the second image I dropped on the first page did not.  I tried:

  • verify the "Ignore Text Wrap" box is not checked for the text frame
  • verify "Text Wrap only affects text beneath" is not checked

I dragged the image onto my two-column text frame.  It's a PNG if that matters, but it's just rectangular.

Thoughts?  I'm new to InDesign and this is driving me nuts!

Correct answer John Kalla

I tried reverting it back to one column, but the image still doesn't work with text wrap.  I also tried dragging the image over another text frame on the second page, and it doesn't wrap either.  Just the last two-colum text frame on the second page.  Maybe I need to re-create the text frame...

Thank you for trying!  🙂


Yup.  Deleting the text frame and remaking it fixed the issue.  I'm sure I did something obviously wrong, but I don't know what it was.  Issue resolved!  Thank you!

Can you show a screen shot of your page, with the image selected and the text wrap panel?

Are you absolutely sure that “ignore text wrap” is unchecked in the text frame attributes?
