Autoshapes

[Guy Lydig]

Posted 6 days ago but got no response so I am trying again.

Access 2003

Word has AutoShapes into which text can be typed. I have a Report in Access
that I run monthly. I would like to be able to have the report allow me to
decide which AutoShape I want and allow me to type text in it each time it is
run.

Can this be done? Advice will be appreciated.

Not that I ever heard about.

However, you can use the report methods Line, Circle and
PSet to draw just about any shape you want. Coding a shape
can be relatively simple to tedious depending on how much
the desired shape deviates from a rectangle or ellipse.
Getting the text to line wrap inside the shape can be
difficult though.
