I want text to wrap around an image in a text field... doable or not?

1) import images into some hidden substack

2) write some text in main stack  text field. put a space in front of  
the very first word in the field.

3) set the imagesource of char 1 of fld "credits" to 1010... nice...  
the little image (in this case of a person...) appears, it's cropped  
top and  bottom to the text height.

4) turn off fixed fld Height in text field props editor... Viola,  
full image now appears and takes its natural height. only thing: the   
adjacent words are stuck in what the old HTML alignment would be  
(align="bottom") where  the first baseline of text is the baseline of  
the bottom of the image.

Is there anyway to  get the text to wrap as in CSS prop for the image  
where that img is  set  float left?

it would seem the use of image source in text field is  very limited  
if this is not possible...
