Default How do I wrap text around the border of the page

I was wondering if there was a way that you could type and the words would
literally wrap around the border of the page...

Have them type along the top, then down the side, then upside down on the
bottom then back up on the left side...

If this can be done can you please tell me how cause I know people do it all
the time

I doubt if they are doing it with Word. You would have better luck with a
DTP program.

Hi Josh,

You can do it in Word, but it's a bit tedious, in part
because while Word can type across, down the side and
back up the other side it doesn't have an upside down
setting.

If you go to View=Header/Footer (or in the main page)
create a 3 row/3column per row table and then set the
zoom to 'whole page.

Drag the 2nd row and bottom rows to the bottom of the page.
On the top row select the first and middle cells and use
Table=Merge Cells. On the right side, the top and middle
cell, on the bottom, the right and middle cells and on
the left the bottom and middle cells. You can use the
Tables and Borders toolbar to set the text direction
on the top, left and right, but for the bottom you'll
need to type some text, cut it, Edit=Paste Special as
a picture then flip the picture and position it in the
bottom row of the table.
