Default Need Help Formatting Text

OK...so on our luggage tags I want to put

Fly With Us To A Far Off Land. . .

But I want it to be in the shape of a wave, for lack of a better description. I thought I'd be able to do it in word art, but I can't figure it out. I have PowerPoint and Publisher also, but I have no idea how to use Publisher and even if I could do it in there.

Any advice? Suggestions?

Thanks!

Here are some fonts that I found that might help you - Free ocean,waves fonts @ fontspace.com

The one called seawave might work for what you want...

Thanks, I'm going to save that in case I can't find what I'm looking for.

I almost want it to look like it's being pulled by a plane, like a banner (I'm gonna put a little clipart of a plane too

Default Re: Need Help Formatting Text

to give you a rough idea of how I'd like it to look



_ly Wi____s To_____Off L
F____th U____ A Far____and. . .

But more smooth(I did this by typing on 2 different lines, just pay attention to the text, I had to put the lines in to keep the spacing)

I hate it when you have a picture in your head and you can't do it!!

Any suggestions?

Happy to help! It took me a minute to figure out what you meant by wave.... I was thinking crashing ocean wave and interlocking c-shapes and all sorts of things. Then I realized you mentioned a plane and I knew just what you needed.

Post a picture when you're done. It sounds soooo cute!

Will do!! It's a line in the little poem I wrote for our invitations (didn't want to use that "today I'll marry my friend" thing) and I am going to use it on our luggage tags :)
