Let text flow around object (1)

Let text flow around object (1)

In a previous blog I showed you how you could curve text around a circle. For that purpose you could create a textbox containing one or several words. But to let a textbox containing several lines of text follow the contours of an image for example, PowerPoint does not offer an in-built function.

Here's a sample slide where this seems to have succeeded. No, the author of the presentation did not make several textboxes and positioned them carefully relative to one another to give the impression that the contours of the picture had been followed.

So how do we do this then? I will explain this in a next entry.
