And you'll encounter this a lot if you're doing captions for pictures, for example. It is, the text is supposed to be pushed away from this.

And why is that? Because it is obeying the rules. So I'll drag it up, and, ah, it disappears. But I want this text, and this is actual text, by the way, just has a stroke on it, so it looks outlined, I want this text to be on top of the banner. So with the banner selected, I'll turn on text wrap around bounding box, and I'll give it an offset of one pica all the way around. Here we have a layout, and I want this banner, which is grouped itself, it's two halves that are grouped together, to have a text wrap to cause this text to wrap around it, right. There's a couple different ways to do so. Here's a straightforward tip that I think a lot of people could use in any kind of production in InDesign, and that is how to ignore text wrap when you are trying to join text with an image.
