Text wrap not working!

[dropkicknic13]

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

Here is what I'm doing and the result.

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