   • This is the white space that the form letter will leave around the image
   • You can set values for one or more of the left, right, top or bottom of the image
   • In the example, white space will be created only at Left border of the image for 0.2
5. Close the Format Picture window. The text is now wrapped around the image
6. Click on the image and drag it to the desired location in the document and the text will format automatically.
