    I've watched many videos and read discussions.

    I made a circle with the circle tool.Β  I then chose the text tool and typed a few words.Β  I want to curve the set of words along the edge of the circle.

    I held shift on both the circle and the words so they were selected.Β  I then hit Text to Path.Β  All that happens is my text locks/groups with my circle but it does not curve along the edge of the circle. I could really use some advice/help please.

    Have you made sure the circle has been converted to a path first ... before trying to apply the text?

    That never have been a requirement to make this work.Β In fact, I think it's better not to convert it, because you can apply more adjustments more easily:

    Just my 2Β’ of course.
