Newbie question: Curved text?

[Timbo]

I'm trying to create curved text in
Visio 2000. I can do that in Corel Draw
or Freelance, by attaching the text to
a curve, but can't find how to do it
in Visio.

I posted this question a few minutes ago to
microsoft.public.visio, before I found this
newsgroup. Had I known, I would have
cross-posted.


I'd be grately deepful for assistance.

Thanks

Tim,
on the Visio homepage->"Training:lets talk about text positioning" this will
explain how Visio handles Text along a curve. Visio allows the user to rotate
a text block to any desired angle. I guess individual letters (within their
own text block )may cater for very acute curves. The problem of curving text
may well imply that individual letters are distorted, i.e. the width of the
top of a letter is not the same as the width of the base of a letter, if this
is the desired situation I dont believe Visio can accomplish this.
