Ok. I tried bending it along the Y axis with no success. I tried bending it along the X axis and it worked (with the "bend axis" angle at 90 degrees). It bends the text by taking the left portion of the text and bending it downward. Is there a way to bend it in the middle? Sure, I can manipulate it (I'm not being lazy by the way) but, I'm thinking there is an easier way. MPAL76
