Hi all,

Just trying to get used to iWork 08, i'm struggling with a few things though I must say i'm getting used to it. I love it for its design and intuitiveness, but unfortunately this is causing my current problem.

I want to draw an arrow so that it is just underneath my sentence showing that a word is describing what is behind it.

i.e. the big dog which barks all day....

The word which is the pronoun for the big dog so i want an arrow going from which to the big dog (i'm currently doing teacher training).

Whenever I put the arrow close to the line of text the text moves and opens up, I think as part of cover flow, I like this feature but I don't want it to work here, I want to be able to put the arrow as close to that line as possible, otherwise it doesn't look in synch.

Can someone help please?

Thanks

You want to change the text wrap around the object to "none". Select the object and change the wrap either in the popup menu shown above or in the Wrap inspector of the Info palette.

Thanks a lot for this!

Thought it would be a simple thing to do; just trying to get used to it.

Appreciate it.
