How do I wrap text, either on a Page or in an Assignment?

Christine,

assume you mean wrap text like around an image.  What I do is to click on the image so that it's highlighted, and then press one of the alignment buttons.  If you left align the image text will wrap around it on the right side, or as in this sample I clicked the right align button and it puts the image on the right with text wrapping on the left.  

The screen shot below is from the RCE here in the community, but it works the same with the RCE in Canvas.

Thank you!

When I wrap text, the text is jammed up against the image which makes it hard to read.  Any suggestions for how to create a small amount of white space between the image and the text?

Hi @ibornstein ...

I'm sure there are ways to accomplish this with HTML, but you could also use a simple graphics editing program (such as Windows Paint) to add some white space around image.  Then, upload that image to your Canvas course.  When you add text next to the image, it won't appear as though the text was jammed up right against the actual image because you've added that additional white space.

Hope this helps!
