One for each side. You're not putting the text *in* the triangle but between
them. When you add text to an AutoShape, it doesn't take the shape of the
AutoShape; it remains rectangular. So if you want text in the conventional
inverted pyramid, you would use two right triangles, each with the
hypotenuse facing the center. If you want the text in an upright isosceles
triangle, then you need to invert the right triangles so that their bases
are at the top.

Another way to approach this problem, which allows text to wrap
naturally,
is to create two triangular AutoShapes (with no line and no fill) to
bracket
the text area. Format their wrapping as Tight.

I appreciate your help. Can you explain why we need *two* triangles?

Thanks for the reply.

Will indents achieve the correct spacing on the right side of the
'triangle'?

Doug,
He will have to use indents, margins are a page/document setting,
different
margins can only be achieved by inserting a new section.
To indent use the markers on the ruler, or use Format - paragraph.

Dear Group,

My son wants to make a reusable template in Word in when complete
would
resemble a triangle. Is there a way to setup a different margin on
*each*
line?

Thanks for your experience.
