Default How can I superimpose curved text onto/into a graphpic


Hi,
This is my first post here. I have looked everywhere on the web for an answer but so far no result.

I am designing a club logo which is circular. All the graphics are done and now I need to add the club name, either around the inside or outside of the circular shape.

This problem has been posed before and I have read answers on the internet but they all seem to refer to "text effects" and "transform" which I can't find in MS Word 7. Actually I CAN find a type of text effect by clicking on the corner of the "font" section but that doesn't have what I require.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This kind of thing is usually done with WordArt, accessed via Insert>WordArt.

Many thanks for your reply.

I can curve the text I need with WordArt. The problem is that I can't drag the text box, to where I need it. Ther has to be a way but I haven't found it yet !!

With the WordArt object selected, click on 'Wrap text' and choose something other than inline (square or 'in front of text' will probably meet your needs).

Then superimpose or float your graphic in front of or behind your WordArt.

Thanks guys for your help - I'm nearly there!!

Have got text nicely curved to fit into logo, however, when I try to position the text box and edit it in the circular logo the font keeps changing size with every click of the mouse. Most frustrating.
If I can get past this bit it's done.

Regards
