Circular Text Boxes.

[johnep]

I want replace some tokens for my Bowls Club.

Tried, MS Word, Power Point and Serif Publisher but cannot find any hint of how to get a circular Text Box. Ideally, I want the text to be concentric.
Help any one?

Have you tried creating a circle in Microsoft Paint, then drawing a text box inside ? You could then copy and paste that into Word.

In Powerpoint go to:

Insert Menu >> Picture >> Wordart

The third design along (in my 2003 version) looks like an arc but when it is inserted there is a yellow button to pull the text round into a circle.

To get concentric rings you need to put two lines of text.
You might need to do two and lay one on top of the other to get the spacing right.

Yeah that's probably better. Word isn't really designed for fancy graphics although I'm sure there is a way to do it in Word.

Yeah that's probably better.

Yeah, "probably" because it actually does what the original post has asked (concentric text) rather than just ordinary text in a circle.
In MS Word the process is the same.
Insert Menu >> Picture >> Wordart

Thanks for help, still struggling. Unable to bend icon 3 word art to conform to bottom of circle. The next one along which looks might do the trick is actually a cylinder projection.
I will keep trying.

I'll have a look if you let me know what you want?

[johnep]

That is exactly what I am looking for.

Text would vary but would be like this:
RINK

1

SKIP

Diameter of discs to be about 1" (25mm)

You are a marvel.

Like this?
You can cut and paste this into word or publisher, resize and put a text box over the top with the number.
