is it possible to curve a text field to follow a circle's outline.
I'm creating a circle shape in Visio and adding a text field. Rather than
having the text field follow a straight line, I want to bend it to follow the curvature of the circle shape. Example: lettering around the edge of a coin. Is that possible? If so, how do I do it? |

That is great - only one problem - how does one enter text??
On the demo page, press the "Generate Circular Text" button, it works beautifully - however: (a) bring the Circular Text Guide stencil shape on to a new drawing, and there is no means of entering text; (b) generate circular text on the demo page (fine), but copy/paste it on to another page does not include the text - only the position guide. What am I missing?? Thanks Paddy "Paul Herber" wrote in message ani.net... On Thu, 29 Apr 2010 07:52:03 -0700, Walt wrote: I'm creating a circle shape in Visio and adding a text field.

What am I missing?? I think it best and only fair to ask on the forum from whence the shape came. -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd.
