Greetings from Downunder.
Is is possible to place text on a curved path, ie one that I have created,
such as a free-form curve?
Using XP Pro + SP1, and Office XP
All help always appreciated

Hi Carl,
One option is Word Art and use the "WordArt shape" on the Word Art toolbar.
But it is *very* limited with only presets. I have done it with individual
letters moved and rotated. Else, some graphical program, I'm afraid.

Just download the trial vesion of Adobe Illustrator. You can create text on
the curved path easily.

powerpoint cannot automatically do this.... you either have to do it
yourself, one letter at a time.... or use another piece of software (corel,
illustrator et al) and import the graphics into powerpoint
cheers
