how to put words in an arc?
IMHO your description is such that various interpretations are conceivable.
Please edit your initial question and complete the content so that it is clear.
What exactly do you want to achieve?
Here is an example of how text can be adapted to objects.
Align text to shapes in Draw
And please still specify which operating system and LibreOffice version you are working with, thank you.
The tag you specified, “Common”, assumes that your described problem applies to all modules of LibreOffice. IMHO it makes me doubt if this is even possible.

LibreOffice has two tools for that: “Text on path” and Fontwork (known as “WordArt” in MS Office).
Fontwork: You can start with “Simple” from the Fontwork Gallery, for example. The in the dialog “Fontwork” in the drop-down “Fontwork Shape” select item “Arch Up (Circle)”. When you double-click the shape then, you can edit text. For a new line you need to press Enter. To style your text use the “Area” and “Line” properties of the shape, for position the “Text attributes” dialog. To change the font, mark the text in edit mode and change it then.
“Text on path”: You need to customize a menu or toolbar. Add the command “Fontwork” (not “Fontwork shape”). Draw an arc and add you text to it. Then click the new command. You get a dialog “Fontwork”. In the first row select item “Rotate”.
The attached file has an example for each.

About both ways is much more to say. But first you should say, if this is what you want.
