I have text boxes with text that are overlaying curved arrows. Is there anyway to curve/arch the text to match the curve/arch of the arrow?

I am using Office 2007 Home and Student.

Any help is appreciated.

MP_111,

You can apply text effects on a text box. On the contextual tab Format, WordArt styles group, button Text effects you can curve text there.

There's a sample here using a circle, but should apply to curved arrows also:
