this request is for people who know PSP8.

when typing text along a circle, the text seems to default to the OUTSIDE of the ring with the bottom of the text touching the circle. I can't figure out how to have the TOP of the text be what's on the circle. as if it's hanging from the circle rather than sitting on it.

thanks guys.

Here's a simple TIP for it. when you draw an circle shape "U" (Ellipse) and then select TEXt tool and click on the edge of the circle. it goes upside down. but when you first transfrom the Ellipse shape"U" Horizontally (CTRl+T) and then select TEXT tool and click on the edge of the ELLIPSE shape, it goes the other way.
now here's an example for it:
Make an Ellpise shape (U) and Transform it Horizontally. then select TEXT TOOL (T) and move it to the edge of the Circle. the POINTER will look like this. then CLICK and type the TEXT:

and it will look like this:


Now here's more Trick which will be useful (if you don't know it)
make any shape Using PEN TOOL (P) will fill color option ON and Draw a shape say a TRIANGLE. the again select TEXT TOOL (T) and this time bring the POINTER inside the triangle (not the EDGE) and POINTER WILL LOOK LIKE THIS:(Like Brackets around it)



now click the Pointer and type your TEXT. goto WNIDOWS>CHARACTER and in tool bar goto paragraph and JUSTIFY ALL. the TEXT will look like this

this is usually needed when you have to type something along with an image or shape. you can make any shape you want to go with. hope this will help.Smile

by the looks of the menu you captured in your picture, this looks like PHOTOSHOP. I was asking for PAINTSHOPPRO info.

I know PSP doesn't do the justified text thing.

I wonder if the Text on the eclispe still works? I'll check at home after work.

Thanks.
