Add Text
1. From the Tools Toolbar select the Text Tool.
2. On the Tool Options Palette, we're going to set the Offset.
You might need to click the arrow to the right of the Line Style to display the Offset settings.
The Offset controls how close your text is to the line.
If you want your text inside the circle you'll use a positive number.
If you want it outside the circle choose a negative number.
When you're complete a project or scrapbook layout, you can set this number to suit your design.
For this example we set the Offset to 0.
3. On the Tool Options Palette you can select your Font and Font size.
4. Position your cursor approximately where you want the text centered on your path and position the cursor over the line of your circle until your cursor turns into a sideways T with a curved line under it.
5. When you're ready, left click on the circle's line, you can start typing now or change your font colors
2. Type your text

If you like, you can get rid of the path that you placed your text on.
