The only way using only Word is to put it into WordArt (on the Drawing
toolbar). Select any style from the WordArt gallery and enter the text. If
the one there that's already an arc doesn't please you, insert it with any
other style; then click the WordArt Shape button on the WordArt toolbar that
appears, and pick an arc shape. Note that by dragging the boundaries of the
shape you can affect whether the arc is more circular or a flatter section
of an oval.

The alternative is to use another graphics program such as CorelDraw to
create text on a path, save it as a graphics file, and import that into
Word.
