jonne.b Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Allright, I guess there is a quite simple explanation out there for this but Im not sure I got the terminology right when searching. I'd like to make the text line breaks follow a shape without using separate text boxes for each line of text or (as in this case) inserting blank spaces/tabs for each line. I have tried the skew/shear (?) function of the textbox but that warps the perspective of the text in a way that is not wanted in this case. Thanks in advance!

firstdefence Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 What are you using Affinity Designer or Affinity Photo Using the pen tool draw a shape that fits the contour of the shape you wish to wrap the text around Click on the text frame tool and mouse over the shape you have just drawn and click, this will convert it to a text frame and the text will remain upright and not sheared.
