Text Frames on Graphic

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Sam,

You need to Control+Click on the graphic and choose Graphics > Runaround 
Properties. Set the value to Don't Run Around and click Set.

Unfortunately, the default for imported graphics is to have the Runaround 
set to Run around Contour. You might want to look at my RunaroundNone 
plugin, which remedies this problem. See http://www.frameexpert.com/plugins/
