    Question Text on a curve?

    I'm wondering if there is a way in Xara3D to create "text on a curve", such as the attached sample?

    Thanks!

    Howdy Pilgram,

    It's been awhile since we've seen you here.

    Using the Baseline shift in the Text Options window you can move the letters above and/or below the baseline. A quickly made example is attached.

    Hi Bill,

    Actually, I've been around but haven't been active in the ongoing threads. I am faithful in reading most everything here.... "Need Input" constantly and learn from the wisdom of others.

    Hey thanks for the quick response. The answer was embarrassingly simple and one which I should have probably figured out on my own. However, senility seems to be my primary attribute at times. http://www.the-highway.com/Smileys/embarrassed.gif

    Hey, I blame my memory lapses on Old Timers Disease. They seem to be coming around more often every day.

    or if you have X1 or Xtreme, create the text on a curve there, and paste into X3D.
