Text wrap not working!

New Here ,
Mar 17, 2022 Mar 17, 2022

Hi guys, 

 

I am trying to wrap some text around an object in illustrator and for some reason when I create a text wrap it shows up with the guidelines for the text wrap but there is no effect at all on the type. 

 

I've done a video below, I've tried with the text above the object, other way around, on the same layer and on a different one. I've opened a new file to see if I can just do it with a basic object and new text. Same thing each time!! 

 

Stressing as this is for some coursework!

Thanks

Nic

Image must be above the text in the same layer for it to work.

I solved my issue. The text has to be Paragraph text, not just a text object.

Along with the image being in front of your text, you need to make sure your text is in a text box. DO NOT click and type.

Hi! 
I'm having the same issue! 

I've tried everything, my text and object are in the same layer, at the top, the object has the property of the text wraper but the texte below does not seem to adjust to the object at all.
