I have a package of round labels (Avery 5294, 2.5" diameter).

I have created templates for rectangular labels using tables. Is there
a comparable way to create a table with round cells os that the text
will flow inside the 2.5" circles?

I have Word 2007.


No version of Word can flow text along any path except straight lines unless
you use WordArt. You can, of course, place a separate WordArt object into
each cell of a regular rectangular table.


I don't want to flow the text *around* the labels. I want it to *fill*
the labels. Each label is a circle. I want to be able to enter text
inside each circle and have it break so that the text prints only on
the labels.
