Turn off automatic text wrap

ID CS2. I'm trying to figure out how to turn off automatic text wrapping. Every time I place a graphic or draw a text frame in this particular document it automatically has a text wrap applied. I'd like to be the one who decides when I want a text wrap. Must be a setting I flipped on somewhere without meaning to.

With nothing selected, turn it off in the text wrap palette.

And next time, before you turn it on, be sure something is selected :)

You'll need to set this with no documents open if it is happening in new files, too. (Worth checking to be sure, anyway). Most panel settings like this act as global defaults for all new work when set with nothing open.

Thanks, I knew the fix would be simple. No it was only happening with the one document.

I'm having this problem as well, but none of these "fixes" work. Only started with the most recent update. Its is not isolated to an individual file.

If those (correct) answers don't work, you could try restoring your InDesign preferences and caches. Here's how:
