It would be realy nice to be able to set a text box to a shape around an obbject (L shape or C shape) and to be able to flow text around the object. This is a common feature in all DTP packages.

To create pages where text flows around a picture is currently a tedious task and not always a pretty result.

I would like to see an autoshape vector drawing tools text box similar to the hotspot autoshape tools we now have.

This would be very handy indeed.

Cheers

Type your all your text into a Text Object. Now highlight the portion you want to Indent. Use your RIGHT MOUSE to reveal a menu which has "Paragraph" near the top. Select the amount you want to have just that portion to indent from the left, or the amount you want to indent from the right. Use HANGING where/as needed. Work with this and you'll quickly get the hang of how it works.

I've included an example which shows both LEFT and RIGHT side wrap around.

I regularly use this to wrap text around photos, for example. Using multiple Text Objects is an alternative solution.

Hi Fred.
Thanks for the sugestion. I've been trying this out for a few days and it looks like a good work-around. It will certainly fix an imediate problem. However I still would like to see a dedicated tool, very much like the hotspot tool where we can draw an irregular shape and have the text wrap automatically within the shape. Stars, crescents and sloping oblongs containing text all then become possible.

Best regards
