Creating Layers:

To create a new layer you go onto the menu on the

right hand side and click layers which opens the side
menu (seen on my screen). To create a new layer you
click on the second icon in on the bottom right hand
side. This automatically brings up and new layer, all
thats left to do is double click on it so you can
rename it you help you remember what you have
done on each layer.

Writing On Paths:

To write on a path you use the pencil or pen tool to

draw your path. You then click and hold down on the
text icon and select type on a path tool. You then
click at the top of your path, and it then allows you to
start typing and you text follows the line of the path
you drew.

Wrapping Text:

In order to wrap text around an image you have

placed you have to click on the text tool and draw
the box where you want the text to go (text box must
go over the image in order to wrap around it). You
then type your text out, once its complete you go up
to the window drop down menu and select text
wrap this the brings up a box which allows you to
select how far away you want it to be from the image
and in what sort of style.
