Hi all - Access 2002 - WinME

I have a logo that I want to warp in text. I have tried the word art, and it
does sorta work, but, it does not allow very much flexibility for test
control. It's like, if you take and pull it around to a certain point, the
text is stretched and the spacing is iffy, and not in proper context, it
looks sorta wopped. The closer you move the wrap the more congested and
choked the text seems to be. It is some feature I can use that would allow
me to wrap the text wound the logo and yet maintain uniformity in size and
spacing?

I have one wrap around the half of the logo, and another around the other
half, each half-mooning each other. But, because of the words in the two
different halves, the bottom half is more congested than the top half.

I would truly appreciate any suggestions.

Best regards,
Jan:)

You might try using separate textboxes for each line of text, Jan. Then
you can place them where you want them and group all the textboxes and
the logo image.

Or you might see what happens if you do it in Word. Put the image in
there and use Word's word wrap options. Copy and Paste Special as image
into PPT.

Thanks for the tip, I did try it in Word and then the paste special. It
worked out much better from there. <g>

Two words: Corel Draw

I've not done this in CDGS11 yet, so I'll give it a go. If I create this in
CD11, what would be the best format to bring it into PPT? I'll be using a
graphic style text.

Thanks!

Try WMF/EMF for starters (you might want to keep one copy of the graphic
with text as text and then another for doing the export after you've
converted text to curves.)
