Text inside Shape

Text inside Shape
Mon, 18 Feb 2008 10:38:47 -000
Hello there Forum..... I'm using Corel 11 and need to put a list of names
inside a shape. The names will be provided
in a Word or Excel document and need to be evenly spaced inside the shape. I
have tried to use PowerClip but no joy.
Any sugestions would be much appreciated.


Cheers
Mark

Select the shape, click on the text tool, place your cursor near the edge of 
the shape until you see it turn into a box with AB inside, then click. 
You'll see a dotted outline appear all the way around the inside of the 
shape. Copy your text from the Excel file and paste it somewhere onto the 
page. Click the pasted text and copy again. You should now be able to click 
the text tool inside your shape, paste and have it fit into the shape. I 
don't know why it won't paste the text inside the shape directly from Excel, 
but it will from the document. It seems to retain the spacing from the 
original file this way also.
