Entering text in the auto shape box in Word 2003
How do I enter text inside the auto shape box but not necessarily inside the
basic shapes themselves, e.g. a circle, triangle, etc. |

Entering text in the auto shape box in Word 2003
Overlay it with a borderless text box with no fill and format the text so it
fits the available space. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Kemp wrote: How do I enter text inside the auto shape box but not necessarily inside the basic shapes themselves, e.g. a circle, triangle, etc. |

Hi Kemp,
I'm not sure I'm following what you're trying to do. Right click on an autoshape then Edit Text would allow you to add text to a shape. If you're referring to the Drawing canvas (the shape with angle brackets at the corner holding your other shapes) then the canvas doesn't include the ability to have its own text, it's a holder of other shapes. You could insert a rectangle shape/textbox and turn off the borders of that shape and add text to it to make it appear that the text was for the overall drawing Canvas. ======== " Kemp" wrote in message ...
