Screenshots, please.

Also, if the"Text Wrap Only Affects Text Beneath" preference is checked, text wrap will not affect objects below the text box stacking order. (That preference is to mimic QuarkXPress' behavior.)

• if it is floating above the text, it will not wrap any text within a table. For example:

• if it is anchored to text within a table cell, only text below the insertion point of that cell will be wrapped. For example:
