Microsoft Word

Hello all, I am designing a medal to give out at school (just a simple cardboard one). I've drawn the circle but I want to put the text around the inside of the circle, not in a straight line. Is this possible? I can change the direction but it goes in straight lines, not circular. TIA

Go Insert = Picture= word art

Thanks for your quick reply. I tried word art but there isn't a circular one

[RATTER15]

Yes there is, I use it often.

Highlight the text, choose Word Art and select one of the formats. In the Format ribbon that is now displayed there is Text Effects in the WordArt Styles section (in the middle), and the bottom option in that drop down list you'll find circular text as well as other forms.

Go to word art shape, lots of different shapes, one of them is round, I just checked.

Sorry, but I don't seem to have any of those options

Insert tab. click word art and choose your letter form. Then type the text in the box. Once you click ok the Format tab will open and from there you choose 'Change shape' from the top row (if the window is narrow the option will be represented by the letter A, slanted left), this will give you lots of shapes. Choose the round one and 'drag' the bottom line of the box down to extend to a round shape or oval whatever you like.

I think, you need to learn from online tutorial. Learning Microsoft word is so easy with the help of internet because there are online Microsoft training institute available on the web. One of the best site is creativementor that I know very well. It's online training institute which is offer Microsoft course to students.
