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!

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?
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!
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.
YES this would be so helpful!!!
I'm guessing we need to keep asking for this feature! ;-)
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. ;-)
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!
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!
Dear Storyline Staff and Developers,
Thank you so much for a wonderful product and incredible community of support. Happy Holidays to all of you and your families.
I can think of no better gift for all of your customers this season than to "wrap-up" some text. If you could you add this merry and joyous feature (text-wrapping) to your product soon, I promise to keep the spirit, "all the live long year" and pass it on to others in the community.
Remember this time of year, during those long winter days, the designers and developers in their cold offices, desperately trying to figure out another way to text-wrap around the photo of a loved one. Their fingers huddled around the candle yearning for warmth.
Please spirit show me no more...
If only we could give them more time to hurry home and hold their loved ones by the warm hearth by offering a simple text wrapping feature. Tell me these are the shadows of yet to come?
Hi Kelly,
It's still not a feature of Storyline to wrap around the images or other elements within a text box, so I appreciate you submitting the feature request.
