I draw a line using the "Freeform Line" tool from the Draw toolbar. I then use the text tool from the Draw toolbar to enter text. When I enter the text the Fontwork window opens. I then choose one of the 4 tools you suggest and the text follows the contour of the text box. The line is totally ignored. If I select the line the Fontworks tool is grayed out and unavailable. This takes me back to the same problem as I had initially, how do I get the text to be associated with the line. Writer will not let me select both the text box and the line at the same time. Could you give me a detailed step by step what works on your system? Thanks.
