Does anyone know how to curve text within a shape, as paragraph text, not artistic text? (See my attached image.)
I have drawn the shape, inserted the text as paragraph text, but the text always wants to sit straight. I am so frustrated as I can find a workaround in either Corel or Adobe CS products. I have tried using artictic text in Corel, but have to do it line by line - and this brings other problems, such as I cant justify each line with each other, and sometimes a character jumps up relative to the other characters and the entire paragraph does not taper in...so this is not a solution, apart from the fact it will take me FOREVER to insert line by line....I would like to treat the text as a multiple line paragraph, and follow the shape.
So, to all you brilliant designers out there....PLEASE HELP!
Thanx!

What you need if to use the Envelope tool. Seem that you're using Fit Text to path.
Also, you can convert to curves the text if you want

Of course. You can use Artistic text instead.

only if you use Fit Text to path, but with Envelope you don't have this problem.
You can do all in one, just press enter at the en of each line (including the last one). You can justify the text (ctrl+J) in the same way of the paragraph text
just as fun
Hi Ariel,
I really like your curved image...it looks like the text is lifting off the page. I will have to use that one day.
Best regards,Brian.
OT from this thread: I have revised the Inner Shadow macro to work with all colour models, including spot colours and it now has presets where the user can store up to 7 favourite shadow colours.
How did you do the curved one on the right?! It's exactly what I'm trying to do!
Would really appreciate your help. I'm new to Coreldraw so detailed instructions would be fantastic!
Thank you!!!!

Create the paths as shown on the left, then "Text>Fit Text to Path"

Thanks Mike. It's actually this effect (see below) that I'm trying to achieve. Any advice would be appreciated! Karen.
Ps. George, Thanks for getting back to me too.
