From: Hylton Boothroyd on 9 Dec 2009 19:05 Can anyone point me to an application, preferably free, that makes it easy to create plain text to take up all the space in an upright isosceles triangle? OS 10.4.11, MS Office 2004. We had a rush of blood to the head and chose triangular Christmas cards! It seems that MS Office has been useless for that sort of thing since Office 98. TIA -- Hylton

Set the shape format layout to 'Tight', and type your text between the triangles. I.e. Imagine your triangular card laid on top of a rectangular card, with the same base length. The bits of the rectangular card you can see, uncovered by the triangular card are the two triangles you need to draw.
