Text in an object . . .

[=.RLM.=]

I have an eliptical background image that I would like to overlay with
an elipse that has the text within the contraints of the elipse.

Is that possible in Publisher?

Thanks,

RLM

Put the image on the Master Page - use help to learn how to do this.

That really doesn't tell me what I need to know.

How can I place text inside of an object (ellipse) and have the text
follow the inside contour of any object other than a rectangle or square?

Thanks,

It isn't possible... You could experiment with WordArt. Most Draw programs will do
what you want. If you have lots of time you can tweak text to fit any shape, but
there are better ways.

Thanks Mary!

I didn't see a way either, but I wanted to get expert advice on the
subject before I scrapped it altogether.

I author a newsletter that has a front page article that will be
displayed within the eliptical portion of the front page. I can do it
within the default rectangular text display, but had hoped to possibly
conform to the ellipse.

The only other way is, as you suggested, to place the text in the
background image using my graphic editing software. The obvious
drawback to that of course is having to create a new background with
each issue.

You've helped me before, I appreciate your expertise . . .
