fit text around a circle with top aligned to circle
by trice-nae » Sat, 16 Dec 2006 13:33:16 GMT
help! I have text fitted to a circle object, but it's with the bottom
of the text hugging the circle and going clockwise around. I want the
top of the text to hug the bottom of the circle, going
counter-clockwise, if that makes any sense. Can I do this?
I'm using PSP10

If I have grasped what you mean this is how. The text is following the path.
The correct name Being text on a path. Its just that your path is a joined
at each end to form a circle. if you select the vector shape with the pen
tool set to edit mode. then right click menu and click the reverse path.
This will move the text to the bottom but it will be inside the circle. next
step in the layers pallet expand the vector layers if there not already, and
right click the text layer pick edit text from the menu.
Looking at the text tool ribbon/toolbar, and find the Offset option it may
be hidden if so click the right pointing arrow head after line style to
expend the tool bar. You will need to put in a negative amount to move the
text down it will depend on the size of text and circle but start with -20
If that is not enough increase a bit at a time giving it time to change the
text position.

Trev,
THANK YOU! I'm new at this stuff (obviously), and I had a feeling I had
to do something like what you said, but I just couldn't quite figure it
out.
I followed your instructions and I managed to do it!
Really appreciate the help.
