Wrapping text around text boxes and tables

Gary has excellent videos on having text flow around shapes and images. It doesn’t work that way for text boxes and tables. How can I get them to move with the text?

Let's start with this example containing a Text box, table, and text filled shape. All objects are set to Text Wrap Around from the Arrange panel, and one can adjust text flow by object positioning, and text fit spacing adjustment. As Pages is not a professional application, you won't get the layout results you would from Affinity Publisher, InDesign, Quark, or even TeX/LaTeX output.


For the Table, I just clicked its Width Fit button on the Table panel.
