I have a problem doing something that seems like it should be simple, but
it's got me stumped.

I'm formatting a book in Publisher 2007. I've used PageMaker in the past,
but my version is now too old (PM65) and since Publisher came with my Office
suite I thought I'd give it a try rather than spending $$$ for the Adobe
upgrade. I was pleasantly surprised how easy Publisher was to learn.

I'm currently laying out the cover and the liner notes on the back go into
an irregularly shaped area in the artwork. I've just spent over two hours
trying to figure a way to modify a text box (or an auto-shape) so the text
will fit into the planned space for it.  It's sort of like editing the wrap
points in reverse. Instead of fitting text around an image, it's fitting text
inside an image with the picture in the background and the text on top.

In PageMaker there's a wrap points option for their "window shade boxes"
that will make the box any shape. I can't figure out how to do it in
Publisher.

Thanks in advance,
