jwst Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I've come up against this in Publisher Beta, but I checked and Designer is the same. I want to have a Callout Ellipse with text in it. I want the callout ellipse below the object it is pointing to. The adjustment handle for the position of the pointer moves along a straight horizontal line at the bottom of the ellipse. There is no way to move the pointer around the ellipse to point it upwards. So I have to change the orientation of the callout ellipse. I can do that by rotating it manually using the rotation handle, or I can flip it about a horizontal axis using the flip icon in the toolbar. In both cases the text re-orientates with it. It is not possible to specify the text orientation separately from the shape it is in. I suppose this is not so important for a symmetrical shape, or a shape than can be fully adjusted independent of its orientation. But it is significant for a shape like the callout ellipse, which can't be full adjusted independent of its orientation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
