Is there a way to wrap text in a table cell around an object? I have not been able to find a way to get the text in a table cell to behave like I want it to. In the example below, I would like the text to wrap around the Object Shape + 0.05 in., but it does not behave like regular text that is not in a table cell.
The only "wrapping" I have been able to achieve is "Jump Object" (see below) or "Jump Column" wrapping, which is not what I am trying to achieve.

If I understand correctly what you're trying to do, it can be accomplished by anchoring the object in the text in the table cell. Note that the line in which the anchor mark appears will not wrap, but all lines below will. See screen attached.
To anchor, grab the little blue icon on the top of the graphic object and drag it into the text of the cell.
Hope this helps.
Hi dane73948575 ,
since your wrapping object is not anchored to the text inside the cell the text will not wrap around the object.
What you achieved using "jump object" is to split the table between two table rows.
The object with the wrap is touching the text frame that holds the table.
On the left, the object's text wrap zone is not touching the textframe. Table will not be split between table rows.
On the right, object's text wrap zone is touching the text frame. The table will be split between table rows.
Note: A table is able to leave the text frame horizontally.
Diane is showing how you can wrap text in a cell. Use an anchored object with text wrap applied.
But that also means:
Only text below the line where the anchor character is can wrap around the object.
Text from other cells will not wrap.
Regards,
Uwe
