Wrapping Text
Long passages of text are visually boring. Instead, if you can wrap text around pho-
tographs or graphic elements, you create more visual interest and a more pleasing
design. Take a look at any magazine in print or online, and you’ll see how text flows
around photos to help integrate the elements on the page.
P Note: Linked text
boxes are also referred
to as “threaded text
containers.”
In this section, you’ll add some graphic elements to the real estate site—an ani-
mated slide show and a photo of the real estate agent—and create text that wraps
around them both. You create wrapping text by linking separate text boxes. Text
will flow from one text box to another as if in a single container.
Adding the graphics
The animated slide show and the graphic of the real estate agent have already been
created and are in the Library panel for you to use.
1 Insert a new layer and rename it images. Drag the images layer under the
banner layer.
2 In the Library panel, select the photos movie clip symbol.
