arch text?

Is there a way to arch text, say around a logo?

I could make something and import it into PD, but would make life easier if its a built in function and I'm just not seeing it.

Hi LostTarget -

I'm pretty sure you'd need to create the arched text in other software and import it as a graphic into PD.

Not sure what software you use but there here are some possibilities:
1. In Microsoft Word, create the text in Word Art - copy & paste to graphics software (transparent background) & save in .png format.
2. In Paint.NET, with the Text Formation plug-in installed, text can be made to trace a variety of shapes - even spirals.



Cheers - Tony

For a menu , for a title, for a video, ? You'll have to be more specific. .

At times I will use a static logo in a video for several seconds and at times will add a sentence above and/or below. As suggested above I could use Word or what you to make arch text with the logo and import, but if the ability was built into PD it would just make life a bit easier.
