Sounds like you'll have to step up to something like a real publisher or
drawing program. No help, but I knew there was some reason I keep up with
Adobe. Two ways to do it there.

Go with one of the free CAD programs, I guess. They work for arc, then fit
the text.

The capability of the Word art and Printshop functions are not that good -
there is no way to make the arc a specific length based on the
circumference
or the radius of the bowl - I am looking for a program that will do
something like a panoramic picture - calculate the length and the
roundness
of the semi- sphere of the bowl and then make the text fit those
dimensions - not an easy thing to figure out without some serious
mathematical ciphering
