can't change wrap selection on picture

I have worked all morning on this problem. I am
importing a picture into a Word doc. When I go to format
the picture, I'm unable to change the setting for WRAP.
I can edit the picture and change it only by selecting
Float Over Text, but then when I print the picture isn't
seen!!! HELLP (please)

Thanks for the response....however, I am familiar with
that....my problem is that when you do this, the wrap
styles are 'grayed out' and don't allow me to select
them. The only way around this, was to select Float Over
Text, which then (for some reason) allowed me to select
my wrap style, and it worked fine.........with the
exception that although you can SEE the picture, it
doesn't print....when I deselect Float Over Text, I can
see/print the picture, but of course, can't put my text
next to it.................
thanks

On the Print tab of Tools | Options, check the box for "Drawing objects."

There are two issues at work here - the wrap and the printing.
You cannot wrap text around a picture inserted in line - it behaves like a
large font character. The picture has to float ie in the graphics plane in
order to wrap around it.
The printing problem could be a print driver issue, but I suspect you have
drawing objects unchecked in the tools > options > print dialog.
