Hello Beth,

There currently is not a defined way to do this. However, you may
be able to accomplish this effect in newer browsers using Eric
Meyer's "ragged float" demonstration by slicing the image into
several parts and floating some parts left, the other right. Put
this in a box with a specified width, and the text should wrap
nicely "inside" the image.
