Yes, what you do is draw a curve and place your text on the screen.
Then, highlight both the text and the curve and chose Bind Objects (I
don't remember which menu it is under.)  This will do the trick.
However, I have not figured out how to center it.  In other words, all
my text comes out lower on one side of the curve if I use an arc to
bind.  If anyone can help with that, I am sure we would both
appreciate it. :)

P. S.  Are there any good books out there with tricks and techniques for
       Canvas 3.0?
