How can I define top vertical gap for wrapfigure?

Question

I use the wrapfigure package to make text wrapped around an image. Everything is fine except one thing: I want to move it lower on the page and make some (2 or 3) lines come before it. On the image you see, that the first line of the paragraph "wants" to wrap the image on the top, but can't.

Command is:

Text here. Text here. Text here. Text here. Text here. Text here. Text here. Text here. Text here. Text here. Text here. Text here. Text here. 


\begin{wrapfigure}[16]{o}{5cm}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth]{img01.jpg}
\captionsetup{labelsep=period}
\caption*{This is a figure caption.}
\end{wrapfigure}
\lipsum[1]

Answer 1

First set the text without the image, then add the wrapfig at the point a natural linebreak occurs.

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{wrapfig,graphicx}

\begin{document}

Text here. Text here. Text here. Text here. Text here. Text here. Text
here. Text here. Text here. Text here. Text here. Text here. Text
here.

    \end{wrapfigure}%

Like this:

Code:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{wrapfig2,lipsum}

\begin{document}
    \lipsum[1][1-8]
    \begin{wrapfigure}[12]{o}{5cm}
        \centering
        \vspace*{-10pt}
        \includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth]{example-image-a}
        %\captionsetup{labelsep=period}
        \caption{This is a figure caption.}
    \end{wrapfigure}
    \lipsum[1]
\end{document}
