Abstract
The described embodiments provide a word processor for formatting a document. During operation, the word processor places an object in a section of text in a document. When placing the object in the section of text, the word processor adds a specified amount of white space on a set of sides of the object. The word processor then places text from the section of text on at least a first side and a second side of the object. After placing the text, the word processor determines if the text on the first side of the object is located further from the object than the text on the second side of the object. If so, the word processor adjusts the white space on the first side of the object so that the text on the first side of the object is located closer to the object.
