It wraps the text around the edges of the image (assuming these ‘wrap points’ have been defined) rather than around the bounding box. Tight only works with images which are not rectangular or, like some clip-art, have a transparent background.
It looks just the same as if you had typed Enter before and after inserting your picture but with the important difference that the picture moves as an object, not a character, so it’s easy to place it somewhere new.

That you want the picture (or, to be precise, the bottom left of it) to be placed where the cursor is.Have you ever tried to put a picture in Word and found your text, which started at the top of the page, suddenly moves down? And then, as you type more, or change the size of the picture* to make it fit better, things move to unexpected places?
