Text shapes

[stevehare webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Is there a way to shape text? I'm new to fireworks and would like to have text arch down and around a logo (kind of like an upside down U).

Thanks.

Hi Steve,

Drag out a circle and type the text above it. Select both the text and
the circle, then choose Text > Attach to Path.

Hi Linda:

I tried what you suggested and I'm almost there.

I just can't figure out how to get the text to the top of the logo.

Would you mind checking it out?

Select the path and use the Scale tool to rotate the whole shebang.

Not Linda, but... ;o)

Adjust the Text Offset in the Property Inspector. Positive numbers will
slide the test clockwise along the arc. Negative numbers will slide the text
counter-clockwise along the arc.

Cheers,
Sam
