PAgeMaker 3 can wrap text within a boundary box.

Create the box, just as normal (RTM) at the location where the text will be
placed.
Fold the box over. (oh, sure!) To do this: grab the upper left corner of the
bounding box, and drag it across the right hand edge of the bounding box,
placing it about one-half-inch below the existing upper right corner. Repeat
with the lower left corner, placing it about one-half-inch ABOVE the existing
lower right corner. Pull the original lower right corner fully over to the
left; do the same with the original upper right corner. (Note that is the
original--as drawn-- right corners, which, by the time you do this are now
the lower and upper left corners.)

You can now shape the bounding box, and any text you type in it will conform
to the shape you create.

This procedure is outlined somewhere in the book USING PAGEMAKER: MACINTOSH
VERSION, 2nd Edition. Published by Que, ISBN 0-88022-607-2, 1990. Oh,
yeah--here it is, page 234.
