Text Frames on Graphic

[Sam Beard]

Richard,

   I just responded to Linda's second post, saying that I misunderstood
her and tried to change the properties on the anchored frame, versus on
the graphic itself. After clicking on the graphic and selecting
Runaround Properties and changing it to Don't Run Around, the problem
seems resolved! So, much appreciation to Linda for solving this for me!

Thanks for the response, Richard!

I'm pretty certain Linda is right. If the Runaround Properties setting
of a graphic frame (not an anchored frame; those have no runaround
setting) is Contour or Bounding Box, then it will "repel" text,
regardless of what text frame or flow that text is in. That sounds like
what you've described. 

Did you try setting the graphic frame to Don't Run Around, or just
decide Linda must be wrong without testing it?
