Thanks for the advice, but it isn't available in the 2003 version. I've attached a print screenshot of what my options are when I right click on the text box.
Any other suggestions? I've also looked at my tool bar options and couldn't find 'format shape' also attached is the only format options I can find.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I'll keep trying.
