Yes, limited to a square. Suggestion: In another document, create a textbox
with your text and no border. Draw a triangle around it (autoshape from the
Drawing toolbar). Group the two items (Shift+click, then Drawing-->Group).
Copy, go to your doc, Edit-paste special, as a picture (JPG).

No. Word can only do squares and rectangles.Best approximation in Word is to
use a textbox with no border or fill, format the text manually (ie using
manual line breaks), then draw a triangle over the top.

You need a page layout program (like Corel etc) if you want text to fill an
arbitrary shape.

I'll be the odd duck here...

There's no such thing in Word as wrapping text *inside* a triangle,
but you can wrap text *outside* a triangle quite easily.

Write the text in an ordinary paragraph. Using the triangle Drawing
tool, draw the *complement* of the text shape: a right triangle with
the right angle at the upper left corner of the paragraph, one leg
across the top, the other leg down the left side. Set the triangle
shape to no fill and no line, so it's invisible, and set its text
wrapping to Tight.

If you want the top line of the text centered, make the complement
triangle half the width of the paragraph. Then copy it, flip it
horizontally, and position it with its right angle at the top right
corner of the paragraph.
