Text huging an outline

PageMaker allows text to flow around a contour by changing the picture frame
boarder.
Is this possible in Publisher or am I forced to have it flowing around a
rectangle.

I'm using Publisher 2000 and just created an oval, then a text box over it,
brought the oval to the top, and when I typed, it typed in the area not
occupied by the oval. Seems Publisher will do what you wish.

Edit the wrap points, this will assure the text will "hug" the outline. Select
"tight" wrap, click "no".
Another consideration, autoshapes have two layers, if you copy and paste the shape as
an enhanced metafile, you can ungroup the result and delete the unneeded layer. This
will assure a tighter wrap.
