I need to make a word large at both ends and bowed into the center. How can I do this in Scal 2

There is no good/easy way to do this directly in SCAL2. Your best option is probably to use a program that has a word art function like MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Firstcut has a post on her blog on how to export vectors from these programs. http://cleversomeday.wordpress.com/2009 ... r-cutting/

Do you use inkscape? I think it can be done with it.

Do you mean like this?

You can do this in Inkscape, but I don't like the distortion. Much better off to use a word art function.

Yes Todd that is exactly it. The word I need is Boomers in a collegiate font.

If you have the program The Print Shop, it is easy to make that and other distorted shapes as words.
