SYMPTOMS

If you draw an AutoShape and start typing in it, the text does not wrap automatically.

CAUSE

This is the way AutoShapes are designed to work. If you use the Text Box tool to create a shape, the "Word Wrap Text in AutoShape" option is turned on by default.

RESOLUTION

To automatically wrap the text as you type within an AutoShape object, follow these steps:
  1. Select the object.
  2. On the Format menu, click Autoshape, and then click the Text Box tab.
  3. Click to select the "Word Wrap Text in AutoShape" check box.
  4. Click OK.
