You can use WordArt. For a procedure, see:

I think the request may be for making the boundaries of an area of regular text
be circular (like a circular text box). There have been several questions like that lately. You can do it by placing appropriate AutoShapes on both sides of the text and setting their text wrapping to Tight. I've posted a document at http://jay-freedman.info/triangle_text.doc that illustrates making both triangular and circular text areas.

This is to Jay Freedman: Wow! Thank you so much for that post. That is
exactly what I was looking for when I was trying to do the triangular text (now the circular one is great to know too). Do you have a regular info page on tricks and tips in word? I have a feeling you are a very knowledgeable person in this area. Thanks!!

Thank you for the feedback.
There are a few other things linked from the main page on my site, http://jay-freedman.info, mostly to do with macros. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a "tips and tricks page". One of the things I am not is a dedicated web author. :-) Here are several resources of that kind from other Word MVPs: http://www.gmayor.com/Word_pages.htm http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/tutorials.htm http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/index.html http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/TipFram.htm On Sun, 16 Mar 2008 15:23:01 -0700, orvietokid wrote: This is to Jay Freedman: Wow!
