MS Office Forum / Word / Document Management / March 2008Have text wrap around a picture.
I could swear there is a way to do this, but for the life of me, I cannot remember how. We currently have a picture. It is a circle. We want the word "Clarify" to wrap around the circle. I could swear there is a way to do this, but I cannot remember, so I apologize if this is a very simple question. Can anybody tell me how this can be done? Thank you.

Use the third type of Word Art. By the way... there was an identical question today in this same group... "Subject: How to type text around a circle or oval?" Thanks. I gave this a try, but every time I do this, it forces the text to be gigantic to fit it around the circle. This is not what I want at all, because it is making it way too big. Is there no way to get around that? If I try to change the font size, instead of re-orienting it, it just makes it completely start over, no longer around the cirlce.

AFAIK you can't do what you want in Word - make ordinary text wrap around a non-rectangular picture. To do so, you will need a page layout program such as InDesign and not a word processor such as Word.

Unfortunately, this is how it works. Use the little yellow diamond to change the orientation first, this may help. But, as Peter wrote, Word offers some capabilities, but a real design application (and not a word proessor) should be used if you want fine tuning and more flexibility. |
