Google Docs Fundamentals Image Placeholders Text Wrap Click once on the placeholder. Below the rectangle you will see a menu of options appear. The first option is the in line option. The option next to it is the wrap text option. Click once on this option. Click on the wrap text option and move the rectangle back to the left edge of the page. As you move the rectangle, red lines will appear near the edges of the document. These are guides to let you know you are at the edge of the printable document or the margins. The text will wrap to the right of the box. We can resize this rectangle by using the handles. Use the right handle to make the rectangle thinner by moving it to the left. Use the top or bottom handle to make the rectangle shorter. Click and drag the box over to the right. The text will wrap around the box to the left and to the right if there is still more space on the right. With the rectangle selected, click on the break text option. The break text option pushes the text either up or down below the rectangle. Which one do you use? That depends on how you want the image and the content to look on the document. In most situations you will probably use the wrap text option. Move the rectangle around and the text will automatically wrap around. 15 Digital Maestro
Google Docs Fundamentals Image Placeholders This is our placeholder. We can create as many of these placeholders as we want, and use them in our document to give us an idea where images can or should go. The placeholder is very useful because it gives us immediate feedback for what will happen to the text when we place an image onto a location. Most images we’ll place onto our document are either oriented as portrait or landscape. Portrait oriented images have a narrow width and a tall height. Landscape images have a wide width and a short height. Images can also be square. We can control the flow of text around place holders and images. To the right of the text break option is a pull down menu with several measurement options. On my document these measurements are in inches. In the rest of the world that used metrics, these measurements will be in centimeters. Click on the smallest measurement 1/16 and the text will get closer to the placeholder or image. Choose other measurements to find one that will work in your document. I usually select the 1/8 inch option, which is the automatic spacing selected by Google Docs. In this example I have the place holder frame close to both the top and left margin. The text that flows around the place holder looks awkward on top because there is a 1/8 space at the top. To avoid this awkward look, try not to place your images where text and margins conflict. The spacing is applied uniformly around the image. This is fine for most situations but can cause problems when working with text along the edges of the margin. Digital Maestro 16
