Text Along Curve (but at the bottom)

Adding Text to a Curve (at the bottom)

Adding text to a curve can be simple.  Adding text to a curve as shown below is less intuitive and takes more steps.  This entry will cover how create the image below in PaintShop Pro 2019.

Step 1 for this demo, lets draw an ellipse vector graphic

With the vector drawing tool still selected or using the Pick Tool, right-click the shape and select convert to path.

At this stage you no longer have a standard vector object, but an object that can be manipulated via the Pen tool.  So select the Pen tool.

With the Pen tool selected, you can right-click on the shape, and now choose Edit > Reverse Path.

Next select the Text tool.  Hold the cursor over the edge of the circle and add your text.  At this stage, the text will be on inside of the circle.

With the Text tool still active, open the properties window panel found at the end of the tray

In that window, adjust the Offset with a negative number until the text is sitting where you like it.  In this example, I had to set it to -70.

At this point you should have text, upright, sitting at the bottom of your curve.
