Got to Text: Put on Path. You may have to double-click the curved text and drag the handles to get it the right way up. Select the text, and play with the Fill and Stroke stuff -- by default text is filled with the background colour and the edges aren't drawn (stroked) over, but that's easy to change. > - put a picture into the middle and cut it off where it > hits the inner circle.

Bucket fill should work for the arbitrary areas, although use the Fill and Stroke dialogue for the lettering. Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
