Text boxes--wrapping text around an object
Is there a way to insert an image in a text box, and have the text flow around it? (Similar to the 'float' function in HTML.)
If not, does anyone know of a workaround that replicates this? Thanks!

Ryan,
You gave me quite the chuckle here with this request - so I'm definitely going to pass it along. I also appreciate your sentiments and wishes for a happy Holidays. Same to you and your family!
Off to the feature request! I'm just glad this discussion was posted so I didn't have to spend a lot of time looking for the feature when it isn't there yet. Thanks!
Thank you for submitting a feature request, Paula! And I'm glad to hear this thread was a time-saver for you!
Even bigger time saver will be when we're able to automatically wrap text. ;-)
I'm guessing we need to keep asking for this feature! ;-)
YES this would be so helpful!!!
Today at the Articulate Roadshow in Seattle we learned about scrolling panels. If used in a slide master, IDs have the ability to add a Picture Placeholder in the scrolling panel. Unfortunately because there is no floating text feature, the Picture Placeholder functionality is less valuable since text will be behind a photo you would like to be inside your scrolling panel.
I +1 the feature enhancement request.
Hello - as a new user to Articulate I am trying to place a box around a screen print to help the user find what to select on the page, is this possible, thanks.
Hi Jane! Welcome to Articulate. 😁
Do you need to insert a shape to highlight something on your image? You can try using the rectangle shape formatted with an outline and no fill, like this:
Let me know if that's what you're going for!
Has this feature been added to SL360? Under the Format Shape>Text box there is a "wrap text in shape" option with a check box, but it is always grayed out. Do I need to access it in a different way to check that box?
Hi Carl,
You should see the option to "Wrap text in shape" if there is text included in a text box or in a shape. If the "wrap text" option is checked, the text will wrap within the dimensions of the shape, meaning the text will not extend beyond the width of the shape.
It sounds like you want to have the option to wrap text around another object, like an image. Is that correct? That's not currently a feature in Storyline 360, but I can see how it would be handy. I'll pass the idea along--thanks for letting us know how we can make things better!
Six years late to this conversation, but since it's still not in SL, I'm going to add to the feature request! It would be very nice to have text wrap around an image or shape!
Thanks, Erin. I see that we received your feature request!
