Only guessing here but you may be able to do all you want with the usual text manipulation tools. You may have to change font size, use full justification or individual character kerning.

Harvey,
Use the Text to Path tool. You can do inside, ouside, centerline or move it where you want it.

Mike's advice got me to exactly where I needed to be. I just wish Gravostyle98 could do the same thing.
All text controls and node manipulation work exactly as expected. The only thing I could not find was the setting for the distance from the enclosure to the text. But who cares, it is a minor thing to manipulate the size of the container before hand.
Text to path is a totally different function. I wanted to draw the oddball shape of an award and have the text automatically stay away from the inside edges, which this does.
