Can I shape a text box?

[Andrea]

I am looking to shape the text within a shape. I am writting within an oval
shape and the text is flowing out of the shape...can I shape the text box to
round the edges so the text is in the shame shape as the oval, rather that a
"box"?

not as a standard feature. wordart is a very common request but not
available within visio.

Not easily. The standard text block is a square, but if you set the format
to centered and insert strategically placed line breaks, you can get the
appearance of an oval (or circular) shape to the text.
