You'll have to play with it but
open a new canvas with a transparent background
select the text tool, type your text and make sure the FLOATING option is selected in the Create as: box next to the Font: style box.
Apply the text and you should find it has moving ants round it.
Go to Effects>Geometric Effects and choose Perspective - Horizontal
In the Distortion box, the higher the number the more the text is sloped
If that doesn't give the result you want then open a canvas the same height as your text
Type the text in
deselect it so the whole canvas is active and then use the perspective skew.
You can then crop round the text or, if you've applied the same background colour as your cube, paste it straight in.
There are loads of effects in there. You may find it easier to do one letter at a time. Like I say, you have to play with it.
Come to think of it, you could also try the deform tool [image]http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com/tips/graphics/psp_defo_tool.gif[/image] which is on the toolbox bar, and drag the text about to see if that works.
