This requested tutorial is for a very basic text on a tag or graphic. Here`s how I add text to tags...

Open your tag/graphic in psp (file/open...surf your computer to find the tag/graphic then click open.) You should now have your tag/graphic on your work space. (fig 1)

Click on the text tool icon ("A" in a box) then click on your graphic to open the text tool. (fig 3)

Go layers / new raster layer (fig 2) OK.

Use the scroll down menus to choose your font and font size, set your styles to solid fill and choose a colour by clicking on the coloured "fill" rectangle ( I am using just a very plain text effect for this tutorial) Type in your name / message then click OK (fig 4)

Use the mover tool to position your text on your graphic (fig 5) then right click on the graphic to deselect the text. (fig 6)

go layers / merge / merge visible... That`s it!!! You can add a border, bevel or frame or just leave it plain... now save it (file / save as... name it, locate a folder or location on your computer to save it, and save as a jpeg or gif file.
