Stupid text problem in PSP9

Okay, I'm having problems. Maybe someone else has had this prob and knows how to fix it? Okay, here it is: I'm trying to do text on a curve/line thingie. I set down my vector line. No problem. I hover over with the text tool, special cursor comes up, no problem. Even the text box comes up. Now there's a problem. No matter what I do, the frigging text won't show up. I've tried everything and I'm about to throw my comp out the damn window. Any suggestions??
