OK its pretty easy.
Create an ellipse or object in the sape you want the text.
Type in your text and format with font style.
Switch to the pcik tool and select the text. Go top text (top property bar) and click fit text to path. Next click the path you want the text to follow.
Real easy.

Another way.

Select the type tool from the toolbox. move the curser to the outside of the path you want the text to follow. You will notice the curser changes, click and start typing.

Let me know if this worked for you. If not ill work up a visual.

double click the oval and hit the delete button.
Or go to Arrange - Break Text Apart and delte the ellipse
or Ctrl+K - break text apart

or keep the ellipse and text live and just remove the outline
