I have experience with another graphics package.. and I can't figure out how to do a couple things here in XXP that I could easily do in the other. Can you help explain the follow:
  1. How can you create an outlined shape.. for instance a circle or square, so that you can control the width of the outline?
  2. How can you create text to follow a path.. ie: have a circle that the text is inside of, and the sides of the text warp slightly to match the curve of the circle
  3. How can you 'hide' an image temporarily while you work on something that is below it?


Any help would be appreciated! (I am trying to create a logo for a client, and want to do it here in XXP, but can't work out some of the simple things quick enough to meet my deadline by myself!)

Thanks!
