The Catering and Household Manager at Chateau Fobotcso has requested (? :\ ) that I produce a set of spice jar labels to go on the tops of the jars. They are, therefore, round labels.

It would look neat if I could print in arcs around the labels.

Does anyone know of a program that will enable me to print in circles on round labels?

I've looked in MS Office (Word, Publisher etc) but found no enlightment.

Please?

Have a look in word or publisher for "wordart" or "word art".

I think they both have this (Using open Office on this machine so can't check.)

Alternatively try corel draw or a CAD package - probably overkill!

Go to Word, then View, Toolbars, WordArt.

You can then choose various fonts and layouts; however, I think you'll still need to print square labels and then do some snipping!

Thanks both for those. This has definite possibilities. (If I can say that).

It won't matter if the printer and the software think that the labels are rectangular or square as long as I get the print in the right place on the round labels.

Still wince when anyone talks about "snipping". :\

Fobo - with your AWESOME skills you might be able to adapt the CD label printers which go around and around........? 'EasyCD' certainly allows resize/contract-expand on a circular label.

Hoping we can keep CHMCF happy. Make it snippy....sorry snappy:O
