Word For Mac Bend Text



Making a form in Word 2011 for Mac is as simple as choosing appropriate form controls from the Developer tab of the Office 2011 for Mac Ribbon, placing them in your Word document, and then enabling your form by turning protection on. The text input field is the most common form field. You might have filled in thousands of them in your lifetime. Name, address, and phone number are appropriate for text fields.

As a word processing tool, Word 2016—which, at present, is only available as part of an Office 365 subscription—hasn’t changed much since its last major release as Word for Mac 2011.

The Text Form Field Options dialog is devilishly simple, yet brilliant. When you click the Type pop-up menu and choose a text field type, the rest of the Text Form Field Options dialog changes to offer appropriate choices based on your selection. Here are the six types of text form fields from which to choose:

  • Regular Text: Word displays whatever is typed.

  • Number: Numbers can be formatted and used in calculations.

  • Date: Dates can be formatted.

  • Current Date: Displays the current date in your form.

  • Current Time: Displays the current time in your form.

  • Calculation: Calculates values based on entries made in numeric fields.

The Text Form Field Options dialog allows these options for Regular Text:

  • Type: Choose a field type as described in the previous paragraph.

  • Maximum Length: Specify the number of characters allowed in the field.

  • Default Text: This text appears as a prompt in the field.

  • Text Format: Choose a text formatting option from the pop-up menu.

  • Run Macro On: If macros are available to this document, you can choose one to be triggered as the form field is clicked into or exited.

  • Field Settings: These settings are available:

    • Bookmark:Add a bookmark name to your form field.

    • Calculate on Exit: If you have calculated fields, select this check box to have them calculate when exiting the form field.

    • Fill-In Enabled: Select this check box so your field can be typed in.

    • Add Help Text button: This opens the Form Field Help Text dialog that enables you to add a prompt or explanatory text about the form field. This help text appears in the status bar at the bottom of the document window, or you can have it appear when the user presses the Help button on the keyboard (but not from the Help option you see when you right-click or Control-click the field).

Work with form fields and set their options while the form is unprotected (or unlocked). You have to protect (or lock) a form before you can fill in the form fields.

I have looked at the following question: How to curve text in Word 2010?

Following the answer, I inserted a WordArt object. The answer said to look at Text Effects → Transform, but I can't find that. I have Drawing Tools, Format Text, with options Text Direction, Align Text, and Create Text.

Where is 'Transform'?

Make sure you have the WordArt object selected, then in the ribbon go to Drawing Tools → Format. In the WordArt Styles box you'll find Text Effects on the bottom right, and Transform at the bottom of that menu.

Here's a screenshot:

The tricky part is that the text effect button doesn't actually say 'Text Effects.' If you still go to the Drawing Tools and then Format, the Text Effects button is a letter A that has blue coloring around it. It's in the WordArt Styles section. If you hover the mouse over it, it says 'Text Effects'. If you click on it, the transform button is in the drop down menu.
