using text as a border to our wedding program

I am trying to make a wedding template with a poem that runs around the border of the main text... if someone could help with this we would greatly apprecitae it ..a template would help.. Thanks

If you use a 3 column, 2 row table in which you merge the cells in the first
row, make the first and the third columns narrow with most of the space for
the second column and the change the text direction in the first and third
cells of the second row of the table, you can get a layout which will
accommodate the left, top and right hand sides. Think that the only way to
get the bottom border, assuming that you want the text upside down and
running from right to left, will be to run the paper through the printer
twice with it rotated through 180° the second time to print the bottom
border. The text will not flow automatically so you may need to break a
word in the middle, adjust alignments etc, to get what you want.

If you have Publisher, you might be able to do something with it. If you
have it, you should ask in the microsoft.public.publisher newsgroup.

Word won't let you make a single text box that will automatically wrap
and rotate the text around the edges of a page. You can manually rotate
text in a text box by ±90 degrees, but that won't fix the bottom side of
the page where you would need to rotate the text 180 degrees. I might
try using a separate WordArt shape on each side of the page. WordArt
can be rotated any way you want. If you want to privately email me
(garfield-n-odie at charter dot net) the text of your poem, I can email
you back a Word file with the poem inserted.
