Irregular shape text box !

[Dr Hackenbush]

Hi

I know how to make text flow around irregular shapes and how to draw
irregular shapes and text boxes etc., but what i would like to do is have an
irregular shaped text box and the text in the box flows to that shape.

This used to be a doddle in Corel Draw but i'm having to use Word now and I
dont think its possible, someone prove me wrong !

Unfortunately using Photoshop, Corel or anything else that I know will do
this isnt an option for now

Thanks

You're right that it can be (easily) done in Word, since the text box in an
AutoShape is always rectangular.

Shame, it would be a very useful function
