use the "text to curve" tool...

draw the circle
type the text
select the text
choose the "text to curve" tool
select the circle

Thank you! Another quick question..I want to "bold" the text I am using around the circle and I am not able to click on the "bold" button. Is their a way to "bold" the text? I am using Times New Roman.

If you have already attached the text to the curve/circle you can't just click it with the select tool like you can when it is by itself. You have to hilight the text around the circle and then you should be able to make it bold, change the font size or anything else you need to do to it.

You can select the text once it has been attached to a circle by using the Shape or Node Edit tool.
You can also add text to a circle by drawing the circle frist then placing the text tool on the edge of the circle until it changes to a I beam and then just type in what you need.

I meant to say I am using the teletype font. I have highlighted the font and hit cntrl B and it will not let me bold it. I can change the font to ariel and it will let me bold it. Is it just the font? I can bold this font in other program!?!

it's the font. try adding an outline instead... experiment with thickness to get desired look.

 

[mylunabell]

Thank you! How would I add an outline to the text? Thanks for everyones help! I learn so much from these forums!!!!

Click on the text the right click on the colour you want. You can then vary the thickness with the pen tool

Mylunabell, you might want to take a look at the Corel lessons posted on one of the sponsors sites Stahls Id Direct on the left side of the menu. Under their Technical Support section they do have some lessons for the older versions of Corel. They start very basic so you can learn how to change fonts colors and add outlines.
