Depending on which version you are using, it is quite simple.
1. Select the object (picture) that you want the text to flow around.
2. Right click on the object
3. Select "Wrap Paragraph Text"
Then you can position the picture so that thetext flows around the object as you want it to.

Thank you very much, I knew there had to be an easy way. The hard part was looking in the right place for the answer. Thanks again.
When applying this to the top of a circle, in my case, I found the text flows nicely to follow the circle. When I try the same thing I can write text on the bottom of the circle as well.
Here is the problem I can't figure out! The text while on the bottom of a circle shows up upside down and goes clockwise as you write. I would like the text on the bottom of the circle to write "Left to Rigth" just as it does on the top of the circle.
Can anyone help out with this?

you didn't mention what version you're using, but on the Property Bar there's various controls/buttons to do things like place the text on the other side of the line.
RedGreen,
I assume you are talking about fitting the text to a path? If you get the object to the bottom of the path, and it is upside down, a button appears on the property bar called "Place on other side". This will place the text on the other side of the line, and simultaneously make it readable from left to right. This usually by default places the text inside the circle. You can then use the Vertical Placement drop down to choose the "qrst"^ below the line option, with the arrow pointing to the line above it. ANything you type will then be added to the line from a left to right orientation.
