Hi all:

I'm trying to figure out how to wrap text around 
figures.  I have read the bit about wrapfig in 
the Latex Companion, and looked for documentation 
on my computer but all I found was 
"multiple-span.txt" and that didn't give me 
enough info so I haven't been able to get it to 
work for me.  I also tried floatflt to no avail.

What I would really love to see  would be an 
example of a wrapfig environement with a png 
graphic or something similar.

For example, how would I get the following to work as a wrapfig?

\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=1]{trugreen.png} 
``TruGreen ChemLawn's lawn treatment destroys 
weeds, kills pests and can give you the greenest 
lawn on the block.''

\caption{This advertisement typifies the 
marketing of  the ``dream lawn'' for homeowners 
across the nation.}
\end{center}
\end{figure}


It's for a document I'm preparing to teach 
students about the environmental costs of the 
'beautiful' green lawns we are so partial to here 
in the US


thanks for any suggestions and pointers . . .

René
