You're not, I hope, suggesting one might pad the text >with spaces to give a wrap effect???? Doesn't work for me either. But I wanted the graphic on the right of the slide, and the text frame fills the slide, so I used shift-enter to truncate some of the lines manually. I still can't believe there is no text wrap for graphics in Impress. There is a checkbox for "Adjust to contour," but it does nothing. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
