By saying "arch a text"..do you mean fit text to path? You need a path to fit the text to.
Anyway..good info can be found at www.coreldraw.com
They have a forum similar to this..but all corel of course.
Cheers!

You want to select your text and then invoke the Envelope Tool. This tool is found on a flyout on the tool bar on the left side of the display

I think you need to read the instructions... 0r maybe check out the tutorials.

To make the text go to a curve you need to select the text and a curve or text and a line.

I have x3 and without having any text or object selected, it went right into envelope tool. when I clicked on an object. it put the red box around it .so are you saying when you click on that group of tools nothing is in the dark bold look. just a lite gray look. like when you cant use it.. thats weird..
