I use Journaling Genie software, which has most of the features you describe. The downside is that the text blocks it creates are kind of small--maybe 3x5 on average. I've found that the easiest way to enlarge these small text boxes is to use a desktop publishing program, which many people don't have (I use Aldus PageMaker. It will probably work with MS Publisher). Other than that glitch, it's a great program.. Not only will it set various type circloes, triangles, and squares, but also spirals, swirls, stars, etc. I give this program 3 stars. ;-)
Can someone tell me if there is any software out there that will allow
