Fitting text into the pyramid diagram
I have a Word emergency for a paper that's already overdue. I'm trying to
use a pyramid diagram and the text at the top keeps getting cut off. Is there any way to expand the text box within the small triangle up top? -- Hey now! |

Is there any way to expand the text box within the small triangle up top? No, the box's size isn't changeable (except by expanding the whole diagram, using a button on the diagram toolbar). But you can click in the regular text just above or below the diagram and use Insert Text Box to draw a text box over the empty part of the triangle. Set it to No Fill and No Line, and if necessary change its font to match the diagram's labels. That'll let you put in another two or three lines of text. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

A bit late I know (to say the least) but have just read this thread. There is another way -if somewhat unauthodox but - with a blank page on screen, type a letter X and centralise it. Then using the drawing tool create three lines to form a triangle with the "x" enclosed at the top. Then with the "Centre text" still engaged, type the desired text keeping it within the triangle. A bit fiddly I agree but it works with just a little patience. The lines style & colour can be selected to choice. RB |
