Text in a circle

[cmaibauer]

Does anyone know how I can make my text in a circle like this?

I am using Word 2007. I've tried the instructions for inserting Word Art however the entire sentence wraps itself in a circle. I would like the words "Thank you for coming to my party" at the top of the arch and "Love, Reilly" at the bottom of the arch similar to the example attached.

I've been googling for the past hour and can't figure out how to do this. Thanks.

word isnt the greatest for that kind of thing.
i've used publisher and photoshop for fun stuff like that.
i dont have either on my new laptop or i'd offer to do it for you. i'll take a look in word 2007 and see. i just recently got it and havent played with it much.

Here are the instructions I have from a previous post on this question:

CIRCULAR TEXT
1 Open a new document in Microsoft Word. Note: Be sure the Drawing Toolbar is displayed.
2 Select WordArt button to display the WordArt toolbar (tilted blue “A” on the Drawing Toolbar).
3 Select the curved text style, then type the desired phrase in the box.
4 Select the “ABC” button on the WordArt Toolbar and select the Arch Up shape. Click and drag the squares around the text to form the top of a circle.
5 To create the bottom half of the circle, repeat Steps 2–4. Note: In Step 4, select the Arch Down shape.
6 To change the height and width of each circle half, select Format WordArt on the WordArt Toolbar; click the “Size” tab.

It works better if your text are about the same length, so I use dashes and these squiggly line thing (~) to "even" out the texts.

For Word 2007:
Start with WordArt, pick any format (you can change it later)

Type in your text, hitting Enter twice to separate the top and bottom texts.

Once you have your wordart, double-click on the wordart and it should change to the WordArt format menu. Towards the middle of the menu is "Change Shape".

Select the skinny circle with a horizontal line splitting the middle. Voila! (Hopefully);)

I played around with it in WordArt. Here is what I came up with.

Its actually two half circles.

i've attached the file, bethvb posted the instructions.

double click on the word art then you will get the options to show up.
the change shape option was more to the middle of the tool bar.
