A read a little about this but didn't understand. After making a title is there a way to bend the text?

Follow this link, and download the free software. It's a long donwload (approx. 30min. or so for me). Inside the software, select Tools, then Curve Text Wizard. From there it should be easy. Save the file, and transfer to your project. Good Luck!! |

There isn't an easy way to do this in SiteSpinner -- that I know of. So WebLegacy's solution of some external graphic software is the best.
There is an option in SiteSpinner -- 'convert to path' (for Titles). That would then allow you to edit points on the title with the vertex editor. But for a smooth curve, that seems like a laborious process. |

Not shure if you want each letter itself to be bended also...otherwise you could do below: Lets take half a circle as example but you could have any curve to follow: 1) Draw the line to be followed using SS or some graph program...or (temporarly)import a pic with the curve In case of a half-circle you could draw a circle and cover half of it with a square over it....etc 2) Make a separate title (not text) for each letter place each letter on top of the curve more or less were you want it. 3) Use the rotate function to separately rotate each letter in a such a way that it follows the line. (rightclick on letter > quickproperties > rotate ) in case of a circle you would rotate each letter a few degrees more then the previous one. I made a few clocks like that or compass-stuff it will look good enough. no need to curve each individual letter also. Letters must be as Title since Text cant be rotated. In case of a circle...you could make 2 help-circles one outside circle and another one slightly smaller on the inside...the letters go in between that will help to get it exact. Radio |

In Word or Openoffice (free!) you can use the Fontwork Gallery to create text objects such as you require. Then MWsnap can save your creation to use as a graphics file.
