First, this question IS best suited to the PageMaker list. However, I do
want to reassure Kelly that Pagemaker does have a text wrap feature that
allows you to wrap text around a graphic if you want to keep the text and
the graphic separate. (Look under Element). Also, you can insert
graphics directly into the text. Copy the text to the clipboard. Select
the text tool and paste the graphic at the text insertion point.
