Text wrapping problem

I have a document with 2 text boxes, both set to wrap. They are basically 2
columns with a photo in the middle. The left text box wraps fine where the
pic is, but the right one overlaps, no matter how I format it. Also, the left
text box is wrapping too close to the photo, but in my wrap format section, I
can't see how to change it. I need to outline my photo, so I cannot create an
artificial 'border' for the photo to keep the text out because then I end up
with an outline on the our\tside of the border instead of on the margin of
the photo where I need it to be.

You could format the text box to have two columns; paste the text from the
second text box into the first. (Right-click the text box, click format text
box, text box tab, columns button.

Right-click the picture, click format picture, Layout tab, un-check Automatic
Distance from text.

If you rather keep both text boxes, are you certain your image is the top layer?
Have you grouped the two text boxes?

Awesome! You fixed it! Answered all my questions. What a great resource this
forum is and you in particular. I was hoping you'd reply based on other
answers I've seen you give, and with a little help from the 'help' in
Publisher, I was able to fix all my problems and some I hadn't mentioned yet
about 'justifying' the test. I had connected the two text boxes, but that
didn't help. I had not sent the 2nd text box 'back' I don't think. I
htought my work around was going to have to be 4 text boxes. So much better
to have one. Didn't know you could do 'columns' in publisher . . . shows the
limitations of being self-taught. Just jput in a position where I had to
generate a document with it, and I'm jreally winging it. Again, thank you so
much.
