Text Field wrap around an image?

[Kevin Randall]

Good day,

I am a Newbie to FM. I have a text field that will contain no more than 50 words and an image in another field. I need to have the text wrap along the right side of the image and then continue below the image (like a mug shot in a newspaper column). How can I achieve this kind of text wrap?

Thanks,

Kevin

FileMaker is not a Page Design and Layout program, it is a Database, so it does not have the ability to Text Wrap.

You might be able to manually produce this look through some tedious work in the layout mode, but it would be easier to export your data using file tags to program such as Quark XPress or PageMaker.

Hi,

you need two calculated text fields:

TextWrapped1:

LeftWords ( Text; 20 )*

TextWrapped2:

Trim ( Right ( Text ; Length ( Text ) - Length ( TextWrapped1 ) ) )

*: 20 is the number of words that you want to read on the left side of the image

Also you can add some Case() statment to conditional wrap words that have too many characters

Ray,

I worked with the calculations and they seem to do the job for me. Thank you for your input.
