if you are textureing an object that is complex (which means not a simple cube user added image

) then you are gonna have to map out your object before you start placing texture on it.

Use planar, cylindrical, spherical mapping if you are texturing a polygon
If NURBS, paint the object's area in color codes and then bring that file into a paint program and paint the real texture there then transfer it back.

hope that helped a little, if not
