ok. this is how i would do this:
draw your design, letters, digit or shape. thenclick right mouse button and
convert to the curves
2.
choice a hair line
3.
change colour to transparent
4.
now pick text tool and slowely touch cursor to the line. if you tuch line you shoukld see A letter on th curve. if you go bit more inside the shape you should see AB inside the rectangle. clik it when you see AB in rectangle

Now you in
5.
now type whatever you like or paste your text
hope this help a little

I was trying but had then got no where - then i thought, silly when i went through your screen shots, the image i had was two line when you see it in outline - so it was trying to fit the text inbetween the 2 outline images lol, and i thought i was going mad only when i went through yours step by step it made sense
