Spiral?

ChelSeeBee

Can "Word" do a spiral kind of format? Like from the center, and then out,
and around and around? I can't find any word processor that can do this, but
maybe I am looking in the wrong place.
Thanx

The only place I've been able to do this in Word is in diagram, but it
doesn't spiral - it puts text in a circle

No. You're looking at the wrong program to do that. Generally you need a
graphics editing kind of program to do that.

What is that? Is Microsoft Publisher a graphics editing program? Somebody
else suggested Adobe Illustrator; is that what I would need? Thanx

Publisher can't do it either - not that we haven't asked the product team to
incorporate it. CorelDraw can do it. Ditto for Photoshop. But I don't think
any of the (current) Microsoft programs can.

I stand corrected - Looks like Expression can do it.

I never heard of Expression. Is that a Microsoft product?

Yes, for web design. There is a demo. Maybe you can download the demo, make
your graphic, then let it expire. (Not something *I* would do but it depends
on how badly you really want to put text in a path.)

Thank you so much for your help. I may just look into Expression.
