If you work with pictures and images in Word, you are likely familiar with the text-wrapping feature, which lets you configure how the picture or image appears with the text around it. What you may not know is that you can also use the text-wrapping feature with your tables. For example, you can configure text to appear around a table as opposed to just above and below.
