We usually just use Layer Styles in the Effects Palette. If this palette is not on your workspace, go up to Window in the Main Menu at the top and click on Effects in the dropdown. Once the Effects Palette is open (click the little arrow on the left side next to ';Effects'; to open and close it), hover your cursor over the row of icons on the left. The second one from the left should be Layer Styles...click it. Now, click the dropdown menu over the right side to expose all the different ways you can change your text. You can also use these to change anything on a layer of its own like a selection. You can bevel, add shadows, glows, stroke (outline) and a bunch more. You can also add more layer styles but it's best to get familiar with the program before you jump into making it more complicated;-)





Once you apply a layer style (or two or three), you'll see ';fx'; appear on the right side of the text's layer in the layer palette. Click on the ';fx'; and the styles control dialog will magically appear and let you tweak the styles. You can increase/decrease the size of bevels. You can change the color, size, distance and opacity of shadows and glows, etc.





Use the Text Tool to highlight your text, then click on the T with the curved line under it up on the Text Tool Options bar above the workspace. This will allow you to put the text into shapes and on paths.





If all the layer styles won't do enough to fancy-up/alter your text, please use ';additional details'; on your question to tell us what you want to do to text and help us narrow the search.





Oh..... you can use all the tutorials for version 6, too.
