CrabbyBoater - I laugh every time I read your screenname. My inlaws own a small marina and my family spends a lot of time working with it. We have nicknames for several of the boaters. One of which is CrabbyBoater, I hope that you are a much happier person the the one I know. Thanks for the compliments to my work, I am happy to help out when ever I can.

Gabby.
                 Go to you tube and put Word Art in the Search box and you will get all the info you want and can go back as many times as you like and its FREE. In fact I find the Tube good for most subject questions I have

LOL Iggy.

[iggygiles]

Good idea.
                I may design the fence using Word Art with a message or two for those I want to keep out.

Lol Iggy

I use corel to do script editing.
but inkscape has the same option. its called "text on a path" in the text menu.

try the help section:
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Text-Path.html

works fine

made a small tutorial

type text "hallo"
changed text font into scrollsaw
made a circle shape
select text and shape
select text on a path in the text menu.

(use space to position the text on the shape)

lets saw

mrsn, Thanks for info just what I was looking for. The word tutorial was aimed at a computer dummy just like me. Pat

First thank you for the tutorial.  Second, what is going on.  I open the PDF file, read it. Played around in Open Office with it.  Wanted to read something again, tried to re-open the file and it says it is a "PHP" file and I don't have software that handles PHP files.  What would cause this.  I can open it again, one time if I reboot and come back to it.
