Text wrapping difficulity

  • Follow


I am attempting to wrap text around a graphic, an oval. On the "outside" of 
the oval is a picture that ends on the ovals left hand side. I want the text 
to follow the "inside" (or right hand side) of the oval. I have edited the 
text boxes' wrap points, that did nothing. I have grouped the three objects 
(picture, graphic & text box) and brought the graphic to the front. That 
didn't work. The text always runs through (on top of) the graphic and the 
picture, or goes away completely.

Is there a solution? Thanks.

Text will never wrap inside the oval. There is a workaround. In Autoshapes 
select the curve line tool, draw a curve following the right side of your oval. 
You can edit the points so it is about the same as the oval curve. Bring it to 
the front. The text should follow the curve. You can give the line no color.
