JUNE 17, 2003 Adobe InDesign Tip: Text Wrap

(And, of course, you can adjust the offset within the Text Wrap palette as well, if the wrap comes in too snug for your tastes.)

This might come in handy if, say, you want to place text over the dark areas of an image but still want to leave the subject visible. Here's an example.
