Press the Play Arrow at the bottom left corner to Play Video



Open an image in PSP use 300 X 300 or whatever size you would like

Click the preset shape tool, then on the drop down choose ellipse

Draw an ellipse on the blank page, it doesn't matter if it is filled with color or not ........ as this will be deleted later. This circle will be a guide for your text so make sure it is the size and shape you are looking for.

Click your text tool and move your curser over the edge of the ellipse. You will see an "A" when you get in the right place. Then right click.

Write your text ....... you will see where your text is.If your text is coming out flat then you did not right click at the right place.

When you get the text the way you want it .... you may have to play a bit ....... then we will delete the layer that the ellispe is on. Then you will have just the text left.

Doreen Note: Also when positioning your curser along the circle center it as close to the top as possible and a half circle will be under the A so that it looks like a rocker that's when you know that the text will follow around the top of the circle. If it doesn't have the rocker under the A it will come out straight.
