Text boxes--wrapping text around an object

Nope. Still not there. I usually resort to forced line breaks to get this done. Of course there is danger there if you have to edit the text afterward. Put in the feature request. The more a feature is requested the more likely it will be implemented — I've seen it happen ;-)

My wish would be to be able to add text to any shape. So for instance you create a circle and the text would wrap to fill the circle. This way you could create any kind of shape you needed to fit around another object and then fill that shape with your text. (This is the way page layout programs like InDesign work.) The next step would be to add text threading where you could have several linked text boxes of any shape where the text flows through them automatically. That is a very powerful feature.
