7 Run Around
The command Run Around in the Object menu
defines the way in which text behaves in relation to
images and lines that are in the level(s) above the text
object.
To use this command, an appropriate object must be
selected.
Then you select the command Run Around in the
Object menu.
1 The program opens the dialog Run Around.
2 In the popup menu Method you define whether
and in which form the text should run around the
object.
The option No means that objects lying in levels above
the text object and cutting into it will not be run
around.
The option Object contours means that objects lying
in levels above the text object and cutting into it will
be run around. With this setting, the text runs exactly
around the contours of the object.
3 When the option Object contours is selected, the
entry field Total appears in the Distance section. All
other fields are not selectable.

4 The option Block means that objects lying in levels
above the text object and cutting into it will be run
around. Here the text flows around the virtual rectangle
of the object irrelevant of the form. With rectangular
objects, there is therefore no difference as against
the setting Object contours, providing that in all four
fields Top, Left, Right and Bottom the same value is
entered as in the Total field for the setting Object
contours.
5 The option Picture boundaries means that the
IMAGE will be run around. In this case it is not necessary
to fit the frame to the picture. The frame must of
course be transparent, so that the effect is visible.
6 The option Embedded path means that images
possessing an embedded path will be run around at
the path. For this function you do of course need a
suitable image.
