You need a full-scale drawing program that can put text on a curve. -- Suzanne S.

RE: how can i spiral the words of my inspirational poem? Joh 12/3/2008 1:36:14 PM You could try playing around with WordArt, although the options are limited. It does allow horizontal 'wiggles' and 'circular' text, but probably not what you're looking for.

"Mary Sauer" <mary.sauer[ at ]mygmail.com> 12/3/2008 10:22:24 PM You can put WordArt into any shape as long as you have the time and the patience. I've done it. See an example of WordArt manipulated along a curved line here, scroll way down below the owl, there is a PDF that explains the method. http://msauer.mvps.org/wordart_in_microsoft_publisher.htm -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Suzanne S.

Re: how can i spiral the words of my inspirational poem? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 12/3/2008 11:23:51 PM I can't imagine the patience that would be required, not to mention the overload on the processor for that sort of application. The only reason for doing this would be having no other more suitable application, and I realize that this is the situation for many users. I'm lucky to have CorelDRAW if I wanted to put text on a curve (though I haven't done so in years). -- Suzanne S.
