I am actually designing a cd and I want put the text into the form of a triangle. This really is not a problem. The problem is I want the triangle to turn by 180 degrees. And even this is not a problem. The problem the inserted text turns with the triangle. Any help would be very appreciated for this desperate man.

Best Regards

Frank

Thank you very very much for your answer. I do not know exactly what the difference is to what I  was doing all the time but hopefully I will understand it later. Now I can go on working. Is the difference the white arrow or shift?

Best Regards

The shift constrains the turn by 90°–180°–270°.

The white arrow would select a part of the frame or an anchor only.

White Arrow+Option selects the whole frame without content if clicked on the frame’s border.

Black Arrow selects frame and content together.
