In this example, I first drew a cir- cle and gave it a fountain fill as the object around which to wrap the text. en I typed the paragraph text seen here. en, with my object selected, went to Window > Dockers > Object properties and in the docker, chose the Summary icon (it's the one with the little question mark) ... a new dialog opens with several options. (See Fig. 4) I chose the one which best fit my needs. You can choose any one that is appropriate for the project at hand. Once the object is chosen, move it around and see how the text re-adjusts to the image. is process may require some experimen- tation to get it right. When the text and target object are dynamically linked, you can move the tar- get object up or down or right or left and the text automatically re-flows accord- ingly. I have included Fig. 5 as a practi- cal example of using this feature. is is a label design I created some time ago of a music CD for a singer/songwriter. Note that the list of song titles flows around the central core of the disk. There are several other choices and options while using Paragraph text, including adding bullets to text frames. I would urge anyone to explore these options. e results are well worth the effort involved! Since using text images is one of the things that we must use exten- sively, it is best to know how get the most out of its use in CorelDR AW. e newer versions of the program have other text options that rely on the artificial intelli- gence abilities of Windows 10. My next area of concern is the differ- ence between vector and raster (bitmap) images, which is still an area of confusion Fig. 2: There are two possibilities for this text. The first is simply a straight-forward typing of the text using "Sarah Script". Fig. 3: I first drew a circle and gave it a fountain fill as the object around which to wrap the text. Fig. 4: With my object selected, went to Window > Dockers > Object properties and in the docker, chose the Summary icon.
