Choose "Path" from the text mode box.

Your image should look like this:

Place your cursor over one of the middle squares. Your cursor should change to a crosshair. Click and drag the square until you get the desired effect.

Repeat this with all of the squares until you get the desired curve. I have created a very extreme curve.

Now, select 2D object or one of the 3D effects from the mode box to finish your text.

That's it!
