Hi all, I am having a problem trying to fix a very simple project.  All I have to do is make an oval and then add text.  Which must conform to the inside of the oval.  I'm currently drawing a blank.  Anyone have any questions or suggestions?  I am using PS cs2.  I've included an example.  Thanks in advance, William

Hi William I don't know of an automatic or semi-automatic method like I would have in CorelDraw or Illustrator. But if you get the oval done you can match the text to it 'manually' quite easily. In the text layer, Right-click, Free Transform and use 'Warp' mode with the 'Bulge' warp. You can toggle back and forth between Free transform and Warp transform as necessary (and the text stays as text!).
