You\u2019ve added an image to your slide, typed some text and suddenly you\u2019ve realized PowerPoint doesn\u2019t let text gracefully flow around pictures like Word does. If you\u2019ve ever tried typing next to a photo and thought, \u201cWhy won\u2019t this wrap,\u201d<\/em> you\u2019re not alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PowerPoint <\/strong>doesn\u2019t support true text wrapping<\/strong><\/a>. That\u2019s by design, but it can be a frustration for users that are expecting the feature. Still, there is something you can do, and we\u2019ll some workarounds you can try out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why PowerPoint Doesn\u2019t Wrap Text Around Images\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike Word, PowerPoint treats text and images as separate objects. There\u2019s no built-in option for wrapping text around images. You just have text boxes and images, which interact more rigidly than you might expect.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Microsoft doesn\u2019t explicitly explain why this feature doesn\u2019t exist in PowerPoint, the likely reason is that wrapping features would conflict with animation and layering features that are necessary for PowerPoint design. Yes, it\u2019s annoying. But it also means presentation slides remain more predictable and controllable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Text Wrapping Options in PowerPoint\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Wrap Text in Word First<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This may not be the most convenient, but it\u2019s something you can try, especially if you\u2019re familiar with text wrapping in Microsoft Word. Here are the steps you can use to wrap text in Word before putting it into PowerPoint: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Open Word and paste your text.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Place your cursor in the middle of your text, insert the image and click the Layout Options <\/strong>(upper right corner of the image) <\/strong>to <\/strong>apply Word-style wrap.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Save the Word file and close it.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. In PowerPoint, go to Insert > Text > Object > Create from File<\/strong>, then attach your Word doc.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Resize or reposition the embedded object as needed.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
