No, I think your translation was fine; you just forgot to
mention, and we never thought about, a difference in languages.
Like I said in another post, that's a great idea and it did work
almost as well for me as it did you g.

: Hi Luc,
:
: I ass-u-me you're talking about 2003, right? I have 2002
and
: there is no "countour" under the Format AutoShape menues,

:
: it DOES work in 2002 if you instead select the left line
and
: then use Set AutoShape Defaults. There is a caveat or
two: Too
: long a sentence or paragraph (several lines) will jump
everything
: outside of the shape and push it to the next page on you.
: Anything that can't be fit in the space provided by the
triangle
: "jumps" outside the triangle and in the process seems to
take
: everything else with it.
: I only spent a few seconds with it, so it's probably
easy to
: anchor the triangle to keep it from blowing away in the
winds of

and I'm
: glad to discover something I never thought about before.
:
: That said, NEAT! I never thought about doing it that way
and
: just used Centering and the Enter key before this.
:
: Good tip!
