I forgot about that script, I have it already. I just tried it and it seems
to do what I'm after. Thanks for pointing out what's right in front of my
nose Mark!

When I create a shape layer from text it puts the center point where the an=
chor point was on the text layer. If I select the path and move it around o=
r center it, none of the transform values change. Is there a way to have th=
