Hi Tina, I see that you commented on version 2. Does that mean you've figured this out?

I still cannot get the button to appear or the macro to run – do you have a slow learning idiots guide to implementing this

Hi Crowlcat2, See the newer version: Circular Text Generator (version 2). It does what you need!

I just like to say I think this tool is brilliant.

Is there any way to get the text inside the circle so that it arcs the other way.

BRGDS for the future

Hi Vincent, You could use the second version of this tool, Circular Text Generator (version 2), and create many concentric circles, but I think you wanted a spiral text effect. There is a spiral generator on Visio Guy, here: Spiral Shape Maker, but it doesn't do any text. If you are handy with VBA code, you might be able to modify it. Cheers, Chris

I am looking for a way to generate a graphic from text (from a file) in a diminishing circle. To visualize what I am talking about imagine looking at your backup CD and seeing alist of files on the disk, starting at the outer edge and circling around and gradually moving toward the center of the disk.

I would like to burn the resulting graphics onto labels (or the disks themselves) so that I can tell at a glance what files I have on there (or Directories)

Has anyone seen a utility like this?

Thanks.

Will this work with Visio 2002 sp2? Our corporate is a bit behind and I can not open the downloads

Please upload the new version – love to give it a spin.

As for football – this season’s high points were the Bears beating the Packers in both games this season…

Thanks!

Hi Art B,

You have helped me find a bug in my archive code. This article had indeed disappeared!

It was stuck between the post-excerpts-with-icons, and the shorter entries. I’ve added a “<=” in place of an “<“, and now everything works! Thanks for catching this.

Hmm…and yes, Christmas is past. Perhaps the I should upload the next version soon…perhaps an offering to ensure a Seahawks 1st-round playoff victory?

Cheers,

Chris

Great work! Is there any hope for older versions (Visio 2002) or perhaps posting the script?

James
