Sorry - wrote this yesterday, but only logged back onto the net today. This is how i achieved it on an older version. 1. Place a rectangle (instead of a text box), over the graphic as far as needed, and leave it's colour on for the present. 2. Right click the rectangle, "Convert - To Contour" (should now see four edit points and the "Edit Points" toolbar. If not click "Points" on the drawing toolbar) 3. On the "Edit Points" toolbar select "Insert Points". 4. By clicking inside the area add as many points as you like along the side you wish to adapt. (the more the better). 5. On the "Edit Points" toolbar select "Move Points". 6. Arrange your points around the graphic. You can move or resize the whole object by turning off the "Points" on the drawing toolbar temporarily. Delete any unneeded points (On the "Edit Points" toolbar select "Delete Points") or add extra as needed. 7. When satisfied with the shape turn off points on the drawing toolbar. 8. Double click and add your text (Copy and paste from your existing text box) 9. Right click your text and select "Text...". On the "Text" tab select "Text - Adjust to contour". 10. From the main menu "Edit - Select All" text and align (on the formatting toolbar) as needed. 11. If it looks OK, click outside the polygon, then back in it to select it. 12. Change the fill from "Colour" to "Invisible". 13. Change the Line Style to "Invisible" if needed.
