Creating Documents 163
1. Enter the text with the attributes you want (especially the ruler (line wrap) area).
Make sure you have left room around the text for the image. You may need to have a blank
paragraph above the text to which to attach the image.
2. Paste the image into the paragraph above the text.
Use the settings as illustrated in Figure 185 to place the image correctly.
Figure 185
The Shape Wrap palette with settings for a “screen” behind text
1. Choose Moves with paragraph from the pop-up menu inside the Shape Wrap palette that
appears.
2. In the Alignment portion of the Shape Wrap palette click the horizontal center button.
3. In the Text wrap portion of the Shape Wrap palette click the “behind the text” button.
4. Check (turn on) Draw behind text.
5. You may need to select and nudge the image to the precise location you need with the arrow
keys.
If you use a image tool that supports LinkBack, as explained on page 421, you can edit the
image and not have to worry about pasting in a new one.

Nisus Writer Pro has additional tools to create a screen. You can learn more about these in “Use
Paragraph Borders and Paragraph Shading to set off your text and create “screens”” on page 287.
Make a floating image an inline image
Just as an inline image can be made to float, a floating image can be made to flow as a character in
your text.
1. Select the floating image or images you want to make inline.
2. Choose:
▶
Inline with text from the Placement pop-up menu in the Shape Wrap palette or
▶
(uncheck) the menu command Tools > Shapes > Text Wrap Around Shape.
!
An alert appears illustrated in Figure 186 warning that Placing the selected content inline will change
the nature of that content in a way that cannot be restored by again adjusting the placement (though
the placement change is undoable in the normal way). All shapes will lose their individual identities,
properties, and placements; only a single fixed image will remain. You can choose not to see a similar
message if you change other shapes by checking the box at the bottom of the alert.
