Making text go in a circle

[Yorkiegirl]

on word
I want to do Happy Birthday Daddy
in a circle
how please?

You need to use Word Art - should be on your word document menu. Click on it and choose the template/style you want, then add text and insert into document. Does that make sense?! Have a go.

Hi there!

On the drawing toolbar choose auto shapes, pick a circle and drag to the required size.

To write in it you need a textbox (on the drawing toolbar, looks like a box with an A in it) put it in the circle then you can write in it.

HTH

I don't want to write inside the circle... I want the writing to take a circular shape. Am trying to do it with word art but it looks naff!

Oh I see!!!!

Don't think you can in word tbh. Have you got powerpoint or publisher?

got both!

you can do it but i don't know how. I was thinking the exact same thing for a LO I'm in the middle of- shall keep an yey on this

Serif draw plus...free download.
You can use the wizzrd to make cicular text so it spirals.Is that what you are looking for???
HTH.

just look at all those typos!!!
typing one handed!!

I just want it to go round in a circle. Could I use serif to do that? Not a spiral as such...

If you just want it in a circle then use word

yg...serif draw plus will do it in a plain circle or in a spiral...any font and any size

have emailed you an eg.

yorkie- can you forward AQ's eg to me? pretty please

PF....if you email me i will do it...it is a fancy-free example though

have already sent her it thanks AQ

i tried to upload it into the gallery but can't cos of the file type

as long as she ahs it

she's gone to tesco's (ah the excitement I hear you cry) so she'll get it when she gets back.

got it cheers yg aND AQ

can anyone send a link for sans serif? I'm guessing it's not just word.

Ooh! You clever lot- I've just downloaded and had a play - fantastic - can't wait to do a LO with it on now:)

kiwi- just google it then download it free

\link{http://www.craftsupplies.ie/shop/chat/viewtopic.php?t=2422\this} is the card I made with the text in a circle!

That's brilliant
Glad you got it sorted, and hope your dh has a good birthday.

I'm (finally) having a play with this... can you make text go in an inward spiral?

i have a feeling you can KB but i don't know how. so i'm not too useful!
