Conform text margins to auto shape?

Mary, you are awesome. It worked beautifully. Thank you!

It is helpful to know that you should make the drawing with as few curves as
possible, and fix them when you edit the points, using the smooth, corner,
etc. designations for the nodes (wrap points) that create the shape. The
fewer the wavers and curves in the freeform shape, the easier it is to edit.
Fortunately, I have some experience with another program so I have edited
nodes a lot before.

It would never have occurred to me to make this work this way, again, I
thank you.

You are very welcome. I haven't worked on the web page for a long time. Maybe I
should get it cleaned up some.
I am pleased you used the method, it is always nice to get feedback.
