I am trying to wrap text around a circle, or line in OmniGraffle, and can't figure out how to do it - any ideas?
Thanks,

Currently, the only way to do it is to split your text up into separate labels for each word and make those labels run parallel to the line. There isn't a mechanism to get a single label to follow the flow of a line:

It looks like each word in the label is actually at a tangent to the line, rather than following it?

If I can't do it in OG, what can I use to get that effect? IIRC correct Word does it, but it sucks for what I'm doing - any ideas?
Thanks,
Peeb
