    Question Text flow around a transparent shape

    Is it possible to have text flow around a transparent shape? Take a look at the image, I'd like the text to flow around the black teardrop shape but I'd like that shape to be transparent.

    Copy the same object with the color of the background and have it repel(flow) around this object.
    Or make the object have already the color of your background

    Make sure to give the object a fill and then set it to 99,5% transparency
    otherwise if you make the fill set to none the transparency trick doesn't work

    Also, if you don't want this object to be actually exported as an image, make it a placeholder and enter one space as a code into it.
