Yes, the follow-up post, though still not very informative, did seem to
suggest that rather than a "shape."

I think you may got it right with text that's filled with a pattern.

We may never know. I wanted to clarify whether he/she was trying to force
words into a shape (such as a circle).

I still don't know exactly what you mean, but I assume you want letters
(as opposed to "words") with a pattern fill. The only way to accomplish
this is with WordArt.

What sort of pattern? We need a fuller description.



When I asked how to add a pattern to selected words, I meant patterns
like:

dots, slant lines, vertical lines, horizontal lines, criss-cross
lines,
etc.

Also would it be possible to create a button on the toobar which gives
direct access to a selection of these patterns?
