this might work:

-create a new layer over the top of the orignal one and draw your hole/shape on it.

-go to layer>select all - this should select the contents of the new layer.

-select the original layer and hit delete.

EDIT: then delete/hdie the new layer

try right clicking on the first layer first and click rasterize - this will change the text/shape object into an image layer

ok I assume you understand layers??

you just need to right click on the layer (in the layer browser on the right) and click rasterize

OK heres a slight edit:

Create a new layer on top of the 1 you want to punch
Draw the hole/puch using one solid colour on the new layer
Rasterize both layers
use the magic wand to select the hole/puch
select the first layer and hit delete
hide the 2nd layer

the magic wand is on the tool panel (wherte the shapes n stuff are) - its on the right hand side and 2nd row down from the top (under a tool that looks like an arrow with a cross under it).

the 2nd layer is the one you create in the first step
