Triangular Text Boxes

[Ken White]

Hi,

Is it possible to generate a triangular "text box" in Word so that text
wraps to the shape (i.e. A at the very top, AB on the next line ABC on the
next, etc)? Or are we limited to a square?
Regards,
Ken

No, when you add text to an AutoShape, the text box is always rectangular,
regardless of the shape. There are other ways to constrain text to a
triangular shape, but they're contorted. Your best bet in this case may be
to, instead of using Add Text, insert a separate text box, larger than the
AutoShape, group the two objects, and then wrap the text to the shape
manually using line breaks.
