I thought my prayers were answered when I saw Rick McCormack's note on shaping boxes in PageMaker 3 but alas, it doesn't work. not in pagemaker 4.2. The problem concerns the use of 4.2 in an office to which the software is actually registered, but the manual has gone bye-bye (it went away with the employee who purchased the software for the office.) The user has a desperate desire to make graphic boxes that are not boxes, either for wrapping text around or fitting text in. I admit I have tried everything I can think of and can't get PM to place a graphic box that is not a rectangle, nor can I reshape the box once placed into anything other than a rectangle. I know PM must have this capability, since one of the options for wrapping text is to wrap it around an irregular boundary -- I have never been able to select this option. I won't bore you with the sys. config. since I don't think there's a problem with anything beyond my (or anyone else in the office's) inability to figure out how to do it.
