Need help putting text around a circle

[Acorn]

Hi, I'm new here and I am stumped out typing text around a circle. I used Photo and Graphic Designer 2013; have read the Help topics on this matter and still cannot do it. Does anyone have an easy to understand way of explaining it to me? Thanks.

Welcome to TalkGraphics.

Probably because Xara doesn't view a SmartShape (circle) as an object with a curve.

To force a SmartShape to be an editable shape, clone it and Combine Shapes > Add Shapes.
Then select the Text Tool and move the cursor over the shape until the point changes and then click to select the curve - start typing.
