I vaguely remember that there was an option to let text run along a

If this is true, how would I proceed? There is a logo, and I would
like to have text run all around it: motto, address, web URL,
telephone no. etc. The goal would be to form a circular sticker.
On my system, there is 1.4.6, but I could use the latest appImage as
well.
Hi Rolf,
I think what you're looking for is the Path tool. I am presuming that
your logo will be something created in an image frame, but you will need
to use text and a shape, such as a circle.
1. Create your logo.
2. Make a circle which outlines the logo.
3. Make a text frame and put your text into it.
4. Hold down Shift, click on the text frame, then the circle, so that
both are selected.
5. Go to Item > Path Tools, click on Attach Text to Path. Your text
should be placed around the circle.
You can still edit the text using Story Editor, adjust the font and its
size, etc., and edit the circle in Properties or elsewhere. For example,
you may find that your text starts at a 3 o'clock position on the circle
-- just rotate the circle to get it to start where you wish. Adjust size
and shape of the circle as needed, and position over your logo.

Thank you all for your tips! That was it.
