This is quite easy to do in Fireworks. Begin by creating your text and=20
then the path or circle you want to attach the text to. Select both=20
(Shift-click) then go to the Text menu,choose Attach To Path and that's=20
it! You can then play with the Orientation settings (still in the Text=20
menu). The Skew Vertical option is especially cool since it gives the text=
=20
3D depth (try it you'll see what I mean). To adjust the position of the=20
text on the path or circle just open the Object inspector while your text=20
on a path is selected and enter a number in the Text Offset field. There=20
is no little handle to drag the text along the path manually like in=20
Illustrator but you still get precise control. If you have more questions=
=20
don't hesitate.
HTH!
