I haven't investigated this further yet, but will do shortly. Oops, too
late ;-) I've just followed through the "fiddly" instructions at the
above link and "introduced" a "Fontwork" menu item into the "Format menu
of "Draw". With this "Fontwork" dialog I am now able to place text onto
a path in OOo Draw.
It's crude but definitely will have some usages.
What is 'crude' about it?
Only in that it is characterized by it's simplicity - it lacks
sophistication. I do not mean that in a negative sense. Nor do I see it
as a drawback, I only see it as a useful addition, not as something bad
or unworkable.
Tip (once you have a "Fontwork" menu). Write some text onto a Draw page.
Open the "Fontwork" dialog. Select the text you typed earlier. Click one
of the curve icons near the top of the "Fontwork" dialog. The effect
should be immediate.
Perhaps RTFM is crude...
I prefer to RTM, thanks.
I'd agree with that regarding RTFM & apologise to you and the list.
However I view fontwork no more crude or unsophisticated than MS
Office's WordArt.
What on earth is crude about reading the fine manual?
