How to make your Journaling into a Circle and journaling in a circle

 

        

 

 

Journaling/Title in a Circle

1.      Open a new Word document

2.      Click Insert>Picture>Word Art (or the Word Art Icon at the bottom) I normally choose the arc (3rd one over from the left).

3.      Type your words in there. MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE SPACE AT THE END

4.      Click "OK" You'll see your typing on your Word document

5.      Click on your phrase and you'll see the little box form around it that allows you to size it. Up at the top, you'll see your box for making changes to your Word Art.

6.      Click the button with the wobbly "A-B-C". That is your Word Art shapes. Choose the circle (the 3rd from the left...2nd row).

7.      Now (on your box at the top again), click the button that looks like a paint bucket spilling paint. This is your format Word Art Button.

8.   Click the tab at the top that says "Size". Since this is a circle, you want your height and width the same. If you want a BIG circle of your words, maybe make it 5" or 6" in each box. As long as these 2 numbers are the same, you'll have a perfect circle. If these numbers are different, you'll have an oval.
