if you want a simple way to do so and give it a little extra feel like this image:
You can find the 6-step tutorial here: http://www.luukratief-design.nl/psd-files/creating-text-pressed-in-a-background/
There are lots of sites on the internet that offer tutorials on this. Beveled Text, Embossed Text, Watermarking (same concept just alpha transparency raised)...
These are just random Google/Bing searches:
- http://www.sketchpad.net/photoshp.htm
- http://www.tutorial9.net/category/tutorials/photoshop-tutorials/
- http://www.dwphotoshop.com/photoshop/bevel.php
- http://www.ehow.com/how_4421419_use-bevel-emboss-effects-photoshop.html
- http://www.developingwebs.net/photoshop/bevel.php
Even youtube:
Or my best is Lynda.com. There is also Kelby Training & KelbyTV but these are more from a photographic point of view than the software perspective.
But expect this to get migrated as advised in the comments

Would you happen to know what font was used in the above image? Commented Nov 6, 2011 at 17:28

@novicePrgrmr - Sorry, I cannot tell you the font type used. I think en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verdana may come close– WayneCommented Nov 6, 2011 at 21:52

@AlanGilbertson - How do you verify that? Is it just experience? Or is that another question unto itself!– WayneCommented Nov 7, 2011 at 8:28
