I have a question for you wise and inventive netters about wrapping text.

My wife does calligraphy, and uses our Mac to set
up text so she doesn't have to figure word wrapping and spacing for
mutli-paragraph documents.  She then puts the printed page(s) under
her paper and on a light table and writes over the guide page(s).

She occasionally has a need to create text in a large oval shape.  The
problem is, most software that does text wrapping assumes you want to
go AROUND an object.  She wants to draw an oval and have the text wrap
WITHIN the oval.

The only thing I could think of was to draw a left-half and a
right-half of an oval as two graphics, adust the box around it to
match the curve of the oval and then wrap 'between' the two, but
that's tedious and not too accurate.

I have (or have access to) SuperPaint (newest version), MS Word 4.x,
or PageMaker 3.x (yup, 3 not 4).  If anyone has any ideas on how to do
this, OR, if anyone knows of a software package
(free/share/commercial) that can just do what we need, I'd appreciate
the info.

Many thanks.
