You can easily create text that fits any vector object. Every vector object in Paint Shop Pro has a path (or outline) that defines its shape. Fitting text to these paths can create fun and interesting effects.
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) first, and then create new text on the path.
Create the path and the text as separate objects, and then fit the text to the path.
To create new text and fit it to a path:
Use the vector drawing tools to create a vector shape.
Click the Text
tool 
.
In the Tool Options palette's Create as drop-list, choose Vector.
Select other options (font, size, alignment and so on) as desired. Use the Materials palette to set the text's Background/Fill property as well as its Foreground/Stroke property.
Move the cursor over the line
or shape until the cursor changes to 
, and then click.
The Text Entry dialog displays.
Note: To place text on a vector object or path without attaching to the object or path, hold down the Alt key and click.
Enter the text and click Apply. The text displays along the path of the shape.
Note: To change the distance between the text and the object path, use the Offset value in the Text tool's Tool Options palette. Positive Offset values move the text above the path; negative Offset values move the text below the path.
To attach a previously unattached text object to a path object:
Choose the Object
Selection tool 
.
Select the text.
Hold down Shift and click the vector object to select it also.
Choose Objects > Fit Text to Path. The text aligns along the object.
Make the object disappear: After you align text to a vector object, you can make the object invisible. On the Layer palette, click the Visibility button of the object. See Aligning and Spacing Text on Object Paths.
To detach text from its associated vector object:
Choose the Object
Selection tool .
Select the text or the vector object.
Choose Objects > Detach Object from Path.
To move text along the path it is attached to:
Choose the Object
Selection tool .
Select the attached text.
Place the cursor over any part
of the text (or over the selected text's bounding box centerpoint icon)
so that the cursor shape changes to this: 
Drag the mouse to move the text. Note that as you drag you'll see a small, square icon move in tandem with the text. This icon will indicate one of the following:
The starting point of the text if the text was created left-aligned;
The midpoint of the text if the text was created center-aligned;
The ending point of the text if the text was created right-aligned.
Release the mouse button to place the text at the desired position.
