I put an oval shape on a page, filled it with text and the text was square.
Bummer.
I thought I would share my work around. Put an arc autoshape and work it
into an almost oval. Then using the helpful autoshape boundaries adjust it
til its only the left half of the oval. In the layout properties, wrap text
right only. Copy and Paste the shape. Rotate it the new shape 180 degrees,
in the layout properties, wrap text left only. Place the two shapes together
to form the oval. Next, place a normal text box so that it just encompasses
the oval. Fill it with some text. The arcs have to be in front of the text,
and publisher can be a little touchy about getting the order right. Once the
text is wrapping properly, group the whole thing. Save it to your scratch
area and your done.
