How do I write a story with pictures in the story written around the pictures?

    I would agree with Dave about using InDesign, but you can do it in Photoshop by creating a shape or path, then using that to make the text wrap. However, you can't have a hole in the path.

    Plus 1 for what Chuck said, but when I first read this post, I was sure it meant putting the text 'around' the picture like below.

    Loll, so as me. I imagined it exactly this way, but I think Chuck Uebele got correctly what original poster meant

    I would use InDesign for laying out the text and pictures so that the text wraps around the images.  If you don't have access to InDesign then you may have Publisher as part of MSOffice which you could use to do the same.

    I believe Illustrator also has text wrapping.
