wow what a response you learn something new everyday...I will try all the comments and see what happens...one thing l have a cracked version,well not so much a crack but downloaded it.... (How much is a new version anybody????ps7 or cs2) thanx guys good responding..

Hey so far the tutorial link that MrHenryDog has supplied is the easiest to follow, but i am still having trouble. When i go to type in the shape my cursor still wont change which wont allow me to create my text in the paths workspace, is there another way that this can be achieved?
I hope i am making myself clear.
Thank you for the help ^-^
