Default is it possible to curve a text field to follow a circle's outline.

That is great - only one problem - how does one enter text??

On the demo page, press the "Generate Circular Text" button, it works
beautifully - however:
(a) bring the Circular Text Guide stencil shape on to a new drawing, and
there is no means of entering text;
(b) generate circular text on the demo page (fine), but copy/paste it on to
another page does not include the text - only the position guide.

What am I missing??

Thanks

Paddy

curvature of the circle shape. Example: lettering around the edge of a
coin.
Is that possible? If so, how do I do it?
