EDIT: i used the word 'pressed'...of course its embossed...:\
01. create canvas
02. type text and align
03. alpha select text
04. create new layer under basetext and fill selection with black, then deselect
basically this will be a dropshadow, but with the layer knocking out the shadow
05. blur the layer (i used 8)
06. offset the layer - call up the move tool, activate the dropshadow layer and drag the layer a bit down
or use the arrow keys on your keyboard to do i manually (i used 4 down and 1 to the right)

07. alpha select your basetext, activate your dropshadow layer, then hit delete or Edit -> Clear
when you turn off your basetext, it should look like this:
