Hi, do you mean test around a shape or text that would fill in with text justification and say follow an inside shape of a circle?

Here is a little informational tut that I saved in my gallery to help demonstrate how to make text in a shape with PSP, it can be done, but not easily...

If you mean how to make text follow an outline of a shape...

Hi, Here is a site with a hundred tut's for everyway to change the look of your alphas http://www.psplinks.com/content/Text_Effects.html.
To make a alpha with a outline around it either a different color or size adjust the Stroke width then you can change the color, gradient fill, pattern or line style also to your alpha.
If you want to have two layers of an A make another A on a new layer and just position them untop of one another....I am not sure if you really wanted layered text, or just make the text look like it has an outline to it...?
But if you read and just click on some of the tut's from the link above you will find more text effects then you would believe!!

Thanks! I'll give those tuts a look-see and hope I can find what I want there.
