diff. margin for each line
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. -- D. Mitchell |

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.

Thanks for the reply.

He'd have to set indents both left and right, and each line would have to be
a separate paragraph, each with its own indents. 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. -- Suzanne S.

Doug
This is a VERY strange request. Would you tell us the purpose of the Triangle? Is it to wrap text around a triangular shape or is it to please text inside a Triangular shape?

In that case, Suzanne's solution above is the best way. You need to end each
line of text with a paragraph mark (not allow automatic wrapping), set to Justified and adjust each paragraph with gradually increasing Left and Right indents (or start decreasing, depending on which way up you want the triangle). In 2003 there is a better way but... Terry "Doug Mitchell" wrote in message ... : "TF" terryfarrell%40%6d%73%6e%2ecom wrote in message : ... : Doug : : This is a VERY strange request.

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. -- Suzanne S.

You can insert the Pyramid Diagram (from the Diagram Gallery on the Drawing
Toolbar). You then add sufficient lines, so that each section of pyramid becomes just about one line (of text) high. Remove the Fill and Line formatting from the Pyramid so that it becomes 'hidden' and hey presto! Add you're justified text line by line and what you have looks like pyramid of text. Works either way up too. Terry "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... : What is the better way in Word 2003? : : -- : Suzanne S.

Goodness! What a lot of work! And since each line of text still has to be an
entity (you can't wrap and flow text in the diagram), you haven't really gained anything over using paragraph indents or just centering the paragraph and using line breaks. -- Suzanne S.
