A quick question to the techies - I've got an ancient copy of PSP 5, the one I grew up with and am therefore reluctant to part with.
I have some text I want to curve and place inside a circular shape - how can you alter the shape of text from a straight line to any other design - in this case, a curve to surmount the circle?

All assistance gratefully received...

Difficult to do in PSP I'd say. Try to set the text to a path and then move it. You really need Freehand to do this.

I'm not sure what a path, or Freehand is. Can it really be difficult to simply bend a block of text along a curve?!

Thanks for replying though, Karst - I had nightmares of this dropping off the bottom of the page without a reply...

Boing!

hth.

I did this in Word once, not that that helps I'm sure.

Mmm, I've tried that, creating it in WordArt and copying it in. Looks terrible, but it's the best option yet.

I cannot believe you can't simply reshape a block of text, though! If this is the case, someone put me out of my misery!


Cheers ruff.

Amen!

How about Xara 3D? (you've got to find a crack if you really want it to work though, otherwise it's just xara all over your text...)
