I'm trying to replace the text in a logo with my own but I need it to curve at the bottom. You can see what I mean at the link below. The "Squadron" text is what I'm talking about.
How would I go about doing this?

Hello John; A screen shot below is a couple of ways to shape text as shown in you attachment.This was done in X6, but I'm sure it's the same.

I don't understand why but when I use the envelope tool and pull on one of the nodes on the text it just does nothing. The text flashes when I release as if it's going to change but it doesn't do anything at all. What am I doing wrong?
Don't know what you are doing wrong. I can tell you this; in my opinion using the the Envelope Docker it easier than the tool bar version at, least to start with.
Create you shape you wish to place the text to follow and type the text. Open the Envelope Docker.(Windows > Dockers > Envelope), select the text with the pick tool, the use the eyedropper in the docker to select the shape and select apply.
Still no dice. I noticed that where both of your guys' screens say "putty" mine says "text" and there is no other option in that drop down menu. Could that be it?
Also. It looks like when I do the envelope, it take effect on the bounding box around the text but the text itself doesn't change at all.
