Triangular Text Boxes
Hi,
Is it possible to generate a triangular "text box" in Word so that text wraps to the shape (i.e. A at the very top, AB on the next line ABC on the next, etc)? Or are we limited to a square? Regards, Ken |

No, when you add text to an AutoShape, the text box is always rectangular,
regardless of the shape. There are other ways to constrain text to a triangular shape, but they're contorted. Your best bet in this case may be to, instead of using Add Text, insert a separate text box, larger than the AutoShape, group the two objects, and then wrap the text to the shape manually using line breaks. -- Suzanne S.
