which PS are you using? 7? go to Layer\>Rasterize\>Layer then that will make the text into a normal shape. Now use the magic wand tool to select the text. Then open up the channels panel (it should be in the same window as the layers panel _its a tab_) then fill the shape in with white… ---

Now go to the channels palette and create a new channel. i am not sure what to do here. thanks after you rasterize the layer, ctrl click it, which makes it a selection then go to channels, i think you know where it is, then at bottom you will see some options, like create new channel where usually you see create new layer if ur in layer window ---

i feel really stupid right now;( OOn the new channel fill the selection in white. Now Deselect (CTRL +D) Go to Filter\>Blur\>Guassian Blur. Use a radius of 8 and again Filter\>Blur\>Gaussian Blur use a setting of 4 again Filter\>Blur\> Gaussian Blur and enter 2. Once more Filter\>Blur\>Guassian Blur and enter 1. When done, go back to the layers palette and click on the type layer. ok when it says use the quassian blur. then use a radius of 8. then it wants a setting of 4. ---
