MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / April 2004text flow
Is there a way to have text flow around the outline of a graphic so the text takes the form of the image? A small child turns to Ed, and exclaims: "Look! Look! A post from Brian Lubroth <blubroth@communityschool.us>!"... > Is there a way to have text flow around the outline of a > graphic so the text takes the form of the image? Use the "Tight" wrapping option?  SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://www.mvps.org/the_nerd/ Before reading this message, view the disclaimer: http://mvps.org/the_nerd/disclaim.htm I'm not really looking to wrap the text to the object, I want to have one line of text take the actual shape of the outer edge of the graphic (dog) so it looks like the object. Sorry if I didn't explain myself that well before. >-----Original Message----- >A small child turns to Ed, and exclaims: "Look! Look!

Sorry if I didn't explain myself that well before. Publisher is a DTP application, not a text manipulation app. You will need Photoshop or, ideally, Illustrator to accomplish what you want. Though Davey will probably tell you that PagePlus can do it, though I doubt that very much.

Actually, it does do it. From the help file: To fit existing text to an existing line or shape: 1 Create an artistic text object. 2 Create a freehand, straight, or curved line (see Drawing and editing lines) or a shape (see Drawing and editing shapes). 3 Select both objects and choose Fit Text to Curve from the Tools menu. The text now flows along the specified path. It actually is a decent and pretty powerful program for its cost.

Mary, I don't know - what help file are you reading? PP9.03 or Pub 2003? Mike > Mike, Are we reading the same help files? I missed something in the thread. You are reading a PP help, no wonder I couldn't find it in Pub. Fitting text to a path can be done in Corel if anyone cares.
