Thanks Gary, although not exactly what I had in mind. I just can't figure out a way to actually put text physically on a button, it seems when I merge the two using the techniques in the tutorial, the text vanishes intot the button.

Meanwhile, i've figured out a way to etch the text into the button surface. However, I was hoping you could tell me specifically how to remove the elipse you used, when creating the curved text line on the bottom of page 5. You say it's possible to 'delete the circle' but I've only found a way to make it invisible... not delete it. I need to delete it so I can subtract only the text from my object after I place it. I can make the elipse invisible but upon subtracting... it still cuts a big hole in my object.

I'd be greatful for any input.

Thanks-

Matt
