Text Wrap - A feature supported by many word processors that enables you to surround a picture or diagram with text. The text wraps around the graphic. Text wrap is also called text flow.
Word Wrap - In word processing, a feature that causes the word processor to force all text to fit within the defined margins. When you fill one line with text, the word processor automatically jumps to the next line so that you are not required to keep track of line lengths and to press the Return key after each line. The word processor divides lines in such a way that a word is never split between two lines (unless the word processor supports hyphenation).
Word wrap also occurs if you change the margins. In this case, the word processor readjusts all the text so that it fits within the new margins.
Note that word wrap inserts a soft return at the end of each line, not a hard return. Soft returns are invisible codes that the word processor utilizes. Hard returns are real characters inserted into the document.
Some word processors allow you to turn off the word-wrap feature. This is useful for writing programs and other types of formatted text where you want complete control over new lines.

Text wrap is when the text in a document wraps around an object, for instance a picture, in that document.
Word wrap means that if you put too much text on one line, the words will automatically be placed onto the next line.
Hope this helps. If so, please give me Best Answer! Thanks!
