How do I print text in a circle?

[bradley's_mom]

I would like to make some labels and print in a circle-how do I do it in word? Or I have CS3 on my machine at work. What would be the best (and easiest) way to do it?

I couldn't find the original post of this, so can't tell you who it was to give them the credit. But here is what I printed out:

Open MS Word
Select insert
Then picture
Then Word Art
Type sentiment in font and colors desired
From Word art toolbar select "shape" option
Click on circle (or desired shape)
Stretch and size as desired
Format under Word Art toolbar "Format word art" to add SU! Colors and equalize size (if desired)

I typed in From the desk of for the top, but I also want to put it on the bottom like this image.

Help!

Thanks very much for this. I know Sue Nelson had a blurb on how to text in a circle shape. May I ask how you add SU colors in the format section? I'm not familiar with this. Thank you :confused:

bradley's_mom.....Just keep repeating the text you want and it will go around the circle. You can hit the space bar to spread out the text to get the layout you want. You could also use periods for spacing between phrases to get the layout you want.

The process of using WordArt for doing text in a shape is just part of leaning MSWord and the feature or WordArt.

I have also played with this word art, but is there a way to get the text "right side up" on the bottom as in the previous sample, "from the desk of.."

Use the same directions above but for your shape choose the one that looks like a circle with a horizontal band. The top, middle (horizontal band) and bottom of the circle are broken up by a "return" in your text box - just return twice to skip the middle band.

Thanks so much - this worked like a charm!!!

Does anyone know of a way to get a circle border centered around the text? I've been trying but when I tell it to center the shape around the word art it's a little bit "off" and I can't find a way to make it truly centered.
Thanks.

I'm not sure I have this feature on my version of Word Art. Can someone post a screenshot of what it looks like? I'm computer literate and can definitely do this, but I'm struggling with the button to push.

I am so bad at this too, so I am subbing to learn too
