How to create a space around an image in text wrap

Hi - can anyone tell me how to create a small gap around an image in text wrap. Currently the text sits hard against the image so making it slightly hard to read. I use optimal text wrap - have tried the others but to no avail.
Cheers

Rightclick on the image and choose Properties, the Image dialog appears:



You can set the Spacing in the Wrap tab.

If you have more than one image to be inserted then it is easier to edit the Graphics frame style so you don’t need to adjust settings all the time.

  1. Open the Sidebar and select the Styles icon
  2. At the top of the Styles pane, select the Frame styles icon
  3. Right click Graphics and choose Edit style
  4. Select the Wrap tab and then enter your desired values under spacing, same appearance as shown in @Hrbrgr screenshot above. OK
    GraphicsFrameStyle

All new images inserted will have that spacing so consider right and left spacing unless all images will be aligned on the same side of the page.
