If I understand your question right, I have done something similar using 
the LaTeX style file,  wrapfig.sty available via anonymous ftp at
niord.shsu.edu [192.92.115.8]   (forgot which directory exactly...try       
checking STY directory).

Someone on this newsgroup aptly (I beleive) says something to this effect:
"Everyone should get D. M. Jones' excellent TeX-index".  Details of 
wrapfig.sty are given in the TeX-index.
