MikeK36 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 At the next update could you please add "wrap text around object" - it's ludicrous that this basic function is only available in publisher! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello @MikeK36, in AD look for 'Layer > Convert to Text Path'. You can then type on any object if you mean that. d.

walt.farrell Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 You can already do that in Designer by drawing a non-rectangular shape using the Pen Tool, then clicking on it with the Frame Text Tool to turn it into a Text Frame. But it will be easier if you just use Publisher Serif chooses what functions to expose in what applications, and so far, it appears that their emphasis is on using Publisher for the enhanced text functions. I doubt they will ever enable them in Designer, but only Serif really knows.
