[judenesbitt]

I have done this before on another programme (no longer have it) How do i make my text into a cirlce on Microsoft Word ????

I'm sure this has been explained before, I just can't find it

word art do you text.. press ok, then clik the ext box - on your word art option you should have 'word art shape' select the circle

so can you do the text in circles where it keeps going round ( hopeless at describing) in wordart or do you have to do it in photoshop. I did it in photoshop once but cant remember how i got there now. Wish I had written it down!

WORD ART TIPS:

Tips:
1) To expand the circle equally in all directions at the same time, hold down CTRL and drag on any one of the drag handles.
2) To rotate the object about its centre in 15 degree steps, press and hold SHIFT and drag the rotate handle. To rotate the object about an edge, hold down CTRL and drag the rotate handle.
