Text on a Circle Tool

[Chris Roth [MVP]]

Hello Newsgroup!
Over the years, I've seen numerouse requests for adding text to curved
paths. While this isn't part of Visio's core features, it can be simulated
with some automation code and ShapeSheet wizardry. I've posted the first
version of a tool that helps you to put text on a circular path. Have a look
and enjoy!

Circular Text Generator (version 1):

Note "version 1". We'll be updating this over the coming months to add more
features, so check back once in awhile!

So I nag? ;-)

That is a very classy solution, far better than the one I have (which is no
where near ready for a public debute). You get also get elliptical paths by
skewing the circle.

You obviously have way too much time on your hands....
My vote for best post to the communities this year....

Well, the ellipses aren't quite right in version 1 - the angle of each
character isn't quite right -- that's version 2, perhaps... ; )
