Text Wrapping

When one or more anchored elements exist on the same line as the Text element, the Text element can wrap around the anchored elements. The wrapping style is specified on the Layout tab of the 'Properties' dialog box for the anchored component.

Table 3. Text Wrapping

 

Flow overlaps the float element.

 

Wraps around the left side of the float element.

 

Wraps around the right side of the float element.

 

Wraps around both sides of the float element.

 

No contents allowed on either side of the float element.

Wrapping occurs on both sides of the element (if the wrapping style allows).

To specify a vertical wrapping direction (rather than the default horizontal), follow the steps below:

1. Select 'Report Properties' from the Style Studio 'File' menu.

2. Select the Settings tab.

3. In the 'Text Wrapping' panel, disable the 'Horizontally wrapping around images' option.

 

The wrapping direction is a global attribute for the report template; therefore, it affects the wrapping of the elements in the entire report.

Vertical wrapping divides the area between the edges of the page and the anchored element into printable sub-areas. Text is shown in each sub-area before advancing to the next sub-area.

If the wrapping direction is set to horizontal, the flow of text occurs across the sub-areas, from left to right, until the text is exhausted or the flow continues onto the next line (below the anchored element).
