Can text be wrapped around a table?

I want to insert a text box, and want the main text to wrap around it. I can make the text box by using a table with no cells, but I can’t figure out how to wrap the text around it. Can I?
Thanks,
Harris

There's currently no way to wrap text around table cells, sorry Harris. The only work around I can see is to create an image from the table cell and text and then insert that as a floating graphic. Definitely not ideal.

Thanks. Maybe it can be put into the next version?

Lots of requests in there for this and floating text-boxes generally. If you have an app like OmniGraffle that supports LinkBack, I'd produce your table in that, insert it as a graphic with a caption if necessary, and then if you need to edit it, LinkBack will open it in OG for you ... Nearly as good as having it as an ordinary table.
