Please bear with me!
Apparently there are various prices - Student Versions and suchlike.
So, I attempted to do that, but clicking on Buy Now just takes me back to Download Trial!
Below is a copy of what I'm trying to do - the pic on the LH side is the back of a clock case, the RH is a start of what I'm attempting to do.
Thanks!
Mike.
In X8 it's under the text menu I don't have X7 loaded anymore.
Thanks David, but I tried that as someone suggested on Youtube but there's nothing on my text menu dropdown - see below:
Apart from that I still have the problem on trying to see the cost of updating Corel from a test version to a full set or if it's even worth it; I've only a couple of weeks left so it's looking like goodbye Corel, sadly [:'(]

you should select the text and the path (a circle, on your sample) in order to enable "fit text to path"
Yes that will activate the text to path. Thank Ariel.

one thing is to test a program and other different situation is to learn the program. For test a program is enough with some days, but learning require more time. If you have somedoby who teach you you can learn on less time, on several days you'll have the basic steps for use CorelDARW.. But if you're learning from youtube and reading tutorial, it will take more time, several months at least. But you will have the same problem with other programs, although CorelDRAW is more easy and intuitive to learn. My daughter learn to use it when she was 5 years old, and it take just a few weeks
I appreciate what you're saying Ariel, speaking as a retired software designer and teaching others how to design sottware, mainly databases, so I don't mind learning CD as I have been familiar with graphic software.
I only wanted to use CD to make it easier to draw text around circles for things like the thing I'm doing at the moment.
However, as selectiing the text and a circle my problem is that I cannot find anywhere on the menu(s) to see an option anywhere for "fit text to path".
