Create text that fits any vector object—line or shape. Every vector object in Paint Shop Pro has a path (or outline) that defines its shape.  Use this object path to create text with interesting variations.

Note:  You cannot create deformed text on a path, Paint Shop Pro will remove the deformation when placing the text on the path.

There are two ways to create text on a path:

• Create the path (a line or shape), then create new text on the path.
• Create the path and the text as separate objects, then fit the text to the path.

To fit existing text to a path:

1. Choose the Object Selection tool .
2. Click the text to select it.
3. Press Shift and click the vector object to select it also.
4. Choose Objects > Fit Text to Path . The text aligns along the object.

To adjust the placement of the text on the path:

1. Choose the Move tool .
2. Move the text.
   When you release the mouse button the text will snap to the path in the new position.

To move the object and text:

1. Choose the Object Selection tool .
2. Move the object.
   When you move the object, the text will move with it.
