How to Wrap Text Around a Table in Microsoft Word

1. Start Microsoft Word and open an existing document that contains a table you would like to apply text wrapping. If you prefer, you can create a table on a blank document by choosing the 'Table' menu, pointing to 'Insert' and then clicking on 'Table...'
2. Select the table by using your mouse to click anywhere in one of the cells within the table.
3. Choose the 'Table' menu and then click on 'Table Properties...' to bring up the 'Table Properties' dialog box. The 'Table Properties' dialog box allows you to set formatting properties to tables in your Word documents, including text wrapping.
4. Select the 'Table' tab at the top of the 'Table Properties' dialog box if it isn't already selected. Find the 'Text wrapping' section near the bottom of the dialog box.
5. Click the box that is captioned 'Around' to set the text surrounding the table to wrap itself around the table.
6. Use your mouse to click the 'OK' button to set the text to wrap around your table and close the 'Table Properties' dialog box. If you already have text surrounding your table, you should see it wrap about your table. If you don't have text yet, type text above or below your table to see how it wraps around your table.
