Re: Image won't repel text
The text column is also set to repel.
Remove the 'Repel Text Under' from the text and the magic returns.
Re: Image won't repel text
Thanks, but problem is that if I remove the repelling from the text in the group, it won't repel the text in the column that's under it, which column I didn't include in the example. What I need - and what does happen with a similar group elsewhere in the same document - is for the two images to repel the small text block and for all three to repel the underlying text. What I don't understand, as I said, is that a similar image/text group earlier in the file does exactly that. Why won't this group work the same way.

I'm trying to upload an example but I'm having some problems. Trying again.

Re: Image won't repel text
I'm not sure why the smaller text box is on a separate layer, but presume it has to be.
You will need a third layer to keep the main text at the bottom of the pile.
Top layer - Honda photo
Second layer - text box and background
Third layer - main text
On the smaller text (second layer) remove Repel Text Under. Add a background shape and Soft Group with the text. CTRL click the shape and Repel Text Under.

I am guessing this might be what was intended and it is dependent on the order in which the objects appear in the P&L Gallery. Not sure it needs more than one layer.

Here is an example: Attachment 131716
The key part is to use a shape to repel the main text, then use the group photo to repel the text associated with the bike and slide the bike group and its text over the shape.
