I believe there's a Bevel tool in there (I use PaintShoPro), which can be used, in conjunction with layers to create "3D" text - I remember someone writing a VERY brief tutorial in one of the forums after I commented on the text on that person's website; I've found the easiest way, however, is to use plug-ins; Alien Skin's excellent Eye Candy package creates decent metallic effects, and I think there are some packages just to create good 3D text (you could also probably use Ulead's Cool 3D, and screen capture if you don't have the full version, as a cheap alternative).
