I have a question for you PDraw 2.0 experts out there. I am a registered owner of both 2.0 and 1.0, and have all manuals, so if there is something in there that will help, page numbers will be fine. I have not figured out how to align text with a circle (or anything for that matter). I read the text chapter, as well as the preceeding chapter on editing that described briefly "Align Text with Curve". I can't get it to do a damn thing with my text. How do I select what curve/circle to align it too, and how do I select the text to align? I have tried a couple of combinations but no results so far. The best I have been able to do is convert the text into graphics and use the distortion tool, but this is crude. Any help appreciated. I only used PDraw occasionally. I used it over the weekend to make slides for a class I was teaching. Students were impressed. Mail, or post if enough general interest. --John E. Ramspott ..gatech!stiatl!jer

The way to align text with a curve in PDraw 2.0 is simple. First create
your curve and your text. Then select both the text and the curve using
the NULL POINTER tool. (You can select multiple objects by holding down
the shift key, or with the Marquee tool). Then select 'Align Text with
Curve' from the menu, select the options you want from the requester that
appears, and voila! (Or however you spell it.)
