TEXT NEXT TO PICTURES
I came across an option to have text mirror or follow, however you want to
word it, a picture. For example, if you have a picture of a star, you could add text next to the star following the shape of it. I can't find that option again. PLEASE HELP! |

TEXT NEXT TO PICTURES
Apply Tight wrapping to the shape.

TEXT NEXT TO PICTURES
I appreciate your input but that's not exactly what I was looking for. It's
so hard to explain without being able to draw it. I'll keep using the star example. When I came across the option, whatever & wherever it was, it showed an example of what it could do. The text basically outlined the star. From the top of the star, the text would be wider and then as it came to one of the side points, there would be fewer words in that line because the line extended out because of the point of the star. Just try to imagine what outlining the star would look like. That's as close as I can come to explaining it. I'm so frustrated that I can't find that option! "Suzanne S.

TEXT NEXT TO PICTURES
Your initial description was vivid enough, and the answer I gave was
correct, but it assumes that you're dealing with a star AutoShape; if you apply Tight wrapping to the star shape, text will wrap to the shape. If what you have is a "picture" of a star, then the picture itself is probably Square, in which case you will have to edit the wrap points in order to allow text to follow the shape of the star. -- Suzanne S.
