Copy / Pasting Warped Text

Hi
On a Mac is there anyway I can create warped text in Elements and then
copy/paste it to another application without flattening the layers? The only way
I have found so far is by flattening the image and then selecting around the
text. Problem with this is that it brings the background behind the text with it
(as an image). When I then use it in the other application any background I
apply does not run behind the text as it is treated as an image rather than just
text. I can copy/paste the text prior to flattening the image but it then loses
its formatting. Any ideas? (Hope this makes sense).

Adrian,
Turn off the visibility of all but the text layer. You will see that the text
layer is on transparent background. Save the file in a format which supports
transparency and is supported by the other application. When you do the save, if
there is a transparency option select it.

Many thanks - it worked first time.
