I am working on a project, and need to type my paragraphs in triangular
textboxes. Does anybody know how to do this? Thanks!

The Drawing toolbar's AutoShapes > Basic Shapes menu (in Word 2003 and
earlier; or on the Shapes button of the Insert ribbon in Word 2007)
has tools to draw a triangular shape. But if you right-click the shape
after drawing it, and choose Add Text, the text will always occupy a
rectangle inside the outer triangle.

There's a way to force text to wrap in a triangular area, by placing
triangle shapes on both sides of it with "Tight" text wrapping, but
that isn't something you'd want to do many times.
