- For those still struggling to get the lettering inside the
- Christmas decorations rather than outside I thought this little
- snippet might amuse...
-
- It's an oldie but goldie!
-
- Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year. Remember: keep using
- the shortcuts...

-
- PageMaker 3 can wrap text within a boundary box.
-
- Create the box, just as normal (RTM) at the location where the
- text will be placed. Fold the box over. (oh, sure!) To do this:
- grab the upper left corner of the bounding box, and drag it
- across the right hand edge of the bounding box, placing it about
- one-half-inch below the existing upper right corner. Repeat with
- the lower left corner, placing it about one-half-inch ABOVE the
- existing lower right corner. Pull the original lower right corner
- fully over to the left; do the same with the original upper right
- corner. (Note that is the original--as drawn-- right corners,
- which, by the time you do this are now the lower and upper left
- corners.)
-
- You can now shape the bounding box, and any text you type in it
- will conform to the shape you create.
-
- This procedure is outlined somewhere in the book USING PAGEMAKER:
- MACINTOSH VERSION, 2nd Edition. Published by Que, ISBN
- 0-88022-607-2, 1990. Oh, yeah--here it is, page 234. --
