Obviously, you didn't look at the FAQ indicated at the foot of all
postings.<br><br>
Otherwise, you would have found Q. 207 "Flowing text around figures
in<br>
LATEX."<br><br>
Cordialmente, Philip G.
Ratcliffe</font></blockquote><x-tab> </x-tab>I
know from experience with this list that we are supposed to be
embarrassed when we ask a question which has an answer in the FAQ. I also
know from experience that using the FAQ is extremely difficult, or else I
don't know how to use it. Even after seeing your response Philip, it took
me about ten minutes to find the correct location of Q. 207. I used
"flowing text" and then read through many entry titles in the
reply.<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>The fact
is, the FAQ doesn't work right, because it is not organized properly. I
don't mean this as a criticism, but rather as a comment. I also don't
know for sure what to do about it. <br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>I suspect
that hooking up to a really powerful local search engine, like google,
would do the trick. I can usually find anything with google.<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Indeed,
typing "wrap text around figure latex" in the google command
line gave me a wealth of clues, including some latex packages. I'm sure
that using the FAQ and typing in the name of one of the packages with the
FAQ search engine will do the trick.<br><br>
