When Manuel uses the Text Box tool on the Insert tab of the ribbon, Word allows him to draw a text box anywhere in his document. This text box is always rectangular, but Manuel wonders if there is a way to create a text box that has rounded corners. Word actually gives you quite a bit of control when it comes to text boxes. ![]() That is because in past versions of Word there was a great deal of difference between text boxes and shapes, but in later versions there has been very little actual difference between them. Thus, one way is to not use the Text Box tool to draw text boxes. Instead, use the Shapes tool (Insert tab of the ribbon, Illustrations group) to create a shape. You can then format the shape to appear just like a text box and even add text within the shape. (To add text, right-click the border of the shape and choose Add Text from the Context menu.) If you prefer to stay with text boxes or you simply want to change the nature of text boxes already in your document, then follow these steps: • Select your text box. • Display the Format tab of the ribbon. (This tab is visible only when the text box is selected.) • Click the Edit Shape tool, in the Insert Shapes group. The Word Art Gallery will display samples of the various different types of warped text you can use. In addition to curved text, you can make waves, slants, gradients, and odd perspectives. Click on your desired effect, and press then “OK” button. Create curved or circular WordArt, and add other text effects. Select the WordArt text or letters to change. The Drawing Tools Format tab appears. To create a curved effect, on the Drawing Tools Format tab, click Text Effects >Transform and pick the one you want. Click outside of your text box to see the effect. Word displays some options. • Choose Change Shape. Word displays a wide assortment of shapes. • Click a shape—the rounded-corner rectangle is a good choice. Word obediently changes your text box to a shape, but remembers all the formatting you'd previously applied to the text box. One of the most popular graphic design aspects is the ability to alter the way text looks. If you’ve ever been down that alley, you might have wondered how to curve text in Inkscape. Let’s go over how to do just that! ![]() Step 1 To start out, let’s grab the Text tool and draw some text, of course. Step 2 Then we need to draw a path to curve our text to. I’ll just use the Pen tool and draw a simple curved line. Also note that I drew this line from left to right, which will make then text curve to the top. Step 3 To make the curve happen, select both the text and the path. Then, head up to Text > Put on Path. Step 4 Here’s our result! Not too bad huh? (I changed the color of the line to make the text more visible.) Step 5 Like I said before, if you draw the line left to right, the text will curve above the line. However, if you draw the line from right to left, you’ll end up with something like this. That’s How You Curve! This was part of. Curving text in Inkscape is really easy to accomplish as you can see.
