This is actually not difficult to do,
but not easy to find out how to do it,
as it offers much more possibilities than just a margin between text and image...

*I tried to write a basic tutorial*
based on the French version,
so the English translation needs to be checked with the actual English interface...
*You will find it **here 
<https://nextcloud.silvain-dupertuis.net/index.php/s/4iryQSSHiHtXsTH>*

In brief and without the screenshots :
*(It would be nice to create a macro to automate this procedure**...)
*

 1.

    Menu Shape

     1.

        Click on Modify

 2.

    Interface of contour line modification

     1.

        Check «Modify the shape»

     2.

        Choose value for margin space (like 3 mm or 5 mm)

     3.

        Click on the appropriate arrow to enlarge the shape

     4.

        Click ok to confirm

 3.

    Back to the previous interface (Menu shape)

     1.

        Click on the icon (4th one) «Flow text around contour line»

Notes

If you want to modify your choices, the easiest way is to click on Reinitialize all 
modifications.

Margin value is preserved during session, otherwise it is reinitialized to its default 
value of 10 mm.
