   I want to add captions to some of the images in my blog, but my text, which is normally wrapping around the image, fails to wrap when I add a caption.

   I'm running WP 2.9.1 and have tested this on both FF and IE.

   Two possibly related issues:
   1) The text wrapping appears correctly in the WP editor, but fails to wrap the text on any saved draft or published page.

   2) I'm not too familiar with scripting, so I took a look at WP documentation and found a description of text wrapping and captions. See the "Captioning The Image" section towards the bottom of the page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Wrapping_Text_Around_Images
   Note that the example states that "the text that wraps around the leaf image that features a caption." But this example displays the exact same problem I'm experiencing: the example's text DOES NOT wrap in my browser -- instead, all the text body is displayed underneath the image caption.

   Is this a known bug, or do I need to tweak some style settings?
   Please help!

   see if style.css of your theme has these or similar styles in it:

   .wp-caption.alignleft { float:left; margin-left:0; margin-right:5px; }
   .wp-caption.aligncenter { margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; }
   .wp-caption.alignright { float:right; margin-left:5px; margin-right:0; }

   Ah! Thanks, alchymyth!
   We're 90% of the way there. Now the only challenge is that I have an image that needs to be aligned left to the page, but I want the caption under the image to be centered (to the image width).

   Any suggestions there?

   add 'text-align:center;' to
   

   .wp-caption.alignleft { float:left; margin-left:0; margin-right:5px; }

   or to all of the 'wp-caption' styles
