I already found the answer to the problem described below courtesy of a
previous post by Mary Sauer (Thurs, Sep 1 2005 7:19 am, under the topic
"Wrapping text around pictures in MS Publisher 2003"). However, this is
such unexpected and unwelcome behavior that it seems worth a further
posting and discussion.
Scenario: (1) Create a Publisher page with one or more textboxes
containing text. (2) Add pictures and set wrapping as desired (Square;
Tight, etc). (3) Now choose the rectangle tool and choose it to add a
border around the entire page. Voila - the pictures now all float over
the text, regardless of the chosen wrapping.
Solution: Send the rectangle to the back.
The solution is not intuitively obvious, and - in my view - it should
not be necessary. Adding the rectangle should not impact picture
display the way it does. This seems to me to be a design bug that
Microsoft should look to fix. However, given that this is the current
behavior, for better or for worse, and it took a great deal of
searching to uncover Mary's post, perhaps the extra keywords in my
subject line will help future searchers find the answer more quickly.
