Would like make a circle from a sentence.

Can't be done in Word unless you have the patience to do it letter by letter
using WordArt. Programs like Corel and PhotoShop will do it; and you can
sometimes find early versions of such programs for a few dollars at garage
sales.

Wouldn't that make you a politician? Oh wait - that's if you "talk" in
circles, not write in them.

There is a WordArt shape that will put text in a circle (sort of).

Hi Mom,

You can, as Suzanne hinted, use Wordart to get text in a circle.

1. Type your text in a blank document, and format it with the
font and size you want to finish with and make a note of the
font name and size.

2. Select the text you want to be 'circled' with your cursor.

3. Choose Insert=Picture=WordArt and select the 3rd item in the
top row (the 'arc')

4. Your text should now appear in the 'WordArt' text editing box,
but not in the font or size you wanted. Select the font name you
want and the size that you noted from step 1. (Note the size may
take some experimentation to 'hold' at a later point).

5. The WordArt toolbar should now be visible, with the Wordart item
still selected choose the 'Wordart Shape' choice and select the circle.

6. With the Wordart item selected hold down the shift key and drag the
bottom center sizing handle straight down until you get a circular 'donut'
outline on the screen. When you release the mouse you should have your
text in a circle.

7. To resize the circle, hold the shift key and drag the upper left
sizing handle diagonally down & right to shrink the size of the circle.

You can also select the item right click and choose 'Format Wordart'
to change the 'fill color' and 'line color' (font edges) to get colors
you want. You can use the Word Drawing Toolbar 'shadow' tool to add
dimension to the circle with a shadow.
