Is there a way you can do this in Paint Shop Pro? I need text to go round in a semi-circle/arch.

I can get the text to slant, rotate etc but can't find how to bend it. Surely it's possible?

Anyone got any help for me??

Thanx

You can use the mesh warp tool. Might be an easier way but it works. PSP V8

Do it in MS Word using WordArt. Piece of cake

Create the arch first.
Click the text tool, place the hairlines inside the shape - cursor will change to curved text tool.
Click, set text attributes then type.

Thanks for your help guys!

I'll now see if I can translate all that into english using the Help files.

PS I did do it in WordArt but found I couldn't quite get it to put two semi-circles together exactly to make one circle.

Or something.

Anyway Cheers

Hobo_Jojo is correct and you can do it in PSP but only in some of the later versions.
