What is the point

[bazwillrun]

of having editable nodes on text boxes in MS Word 2010 and now the new preview of 2013 if you cant make inserted text flow to the shape envelope. ?

Ok, i can do it using lots of tabs, spaces etc etc but whats the point of having the box shape editable in the first place ?.

Yeah i can do it in Photoshop or Indesign but I have some work that has to be done entirely in Word...pointless

same as drop caps you cant have it in a text box without some fancy schmancy editing.
Unless i'm missing something here and I dont think so surely MS have missed a trick here.

Agree. The text will flow quite nicely around the outside of text boxes or other shapes in Word quite nicely but not inside as far as I can tell.
