How can I make my text follow a curve or arch shape in Microsoft Word for Mac 2011?

You can adjust text wrapping in Print Layout, Notebook Layout, Publishing Layout, and Full Screen views. Using contextual menus to wrap text in Word 2011. The fastest way to get at the Wrap Text options is to right-click an object. This produces a pop-up menu from which you can choose Wrap Text. You can create a circle in your document by going to the INSERT/Shapes menu option and select the oval shape from that palette. You can then draw the oval with your mouse while holding down the Shift key as you draw the shape, which will “force” the oval to have a uniform diameter, otherwise known as a “circle”.

Click Review tab.

Click Format tab again.

Now, click Effects button ('A'), and select 'Transform' from the drop-down menu.

The arch, wavy lines, and other formats are shown under the 'Warp' section on the ribbon.

In Office 11 (Mac) at the top, go to VIEW and make sure 'Standard' is selected under 'Toolbars'. Go to Insert → WordArt. Type in your text in the wordart box. Hit the 'Format' button, right next to 'Home'. One of your new selections under 'Text Styles' should be 'Effects'. Click on Effects and select the last selection, 'Transform'.

You should have a whole selection of options including curving text up or down, and making circles. You can edit the curvature by pulling on the text box handles, up and down, and on the corners. You can rotate the text box by clicking and holding on the long 'knob' on the text box.

Still a little hidden, but here's one way to get there . . .

Start a text boxSelect INSERT and then Word ArtChoose your Word Art style and write your phraseHighlight itGo to the TOOLBOX section QUICK STYLES AND EFFECTS and choose the abc option

Then play with the magenta square on the text box and the size of the text box (as well as the rotate text box) to get the curve you want

A little harder than on a PC but everything else is worth this minor hassle.
