Custom text background

Dubie · #1 06-30-2019, 09:08 AM

Hi all,

I would like to create a custom shape/background behind text that conforms to the text.

Examples:

text_background_shape.png

Can this be done in PowerPoint?

I'm on the latest version of Office 365

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

No automatic way. You might be able to draw it with the freeform tool but it would be tedious.

Thanks for the reply.

I was hoping there might be a format option or something i could do with shapes.

It definitely would be to labor and time intensive for the amount of text I would be doing to draw the shape around the text.

Well nothing ventured, Nothing gained.

Thanks again.
