3. Click Apply to view the effect of the current settings. Click OK to apply the settings and close

To remove a repel setting:
Select an object that you do not want to repel text. Choose Text | Wrap | Remove Wrap. Canvas
removes the repel setting from the selected object.
Binding text to vector objects
Bind the baseline of text to the path of most types of vector objects. Canvas adjusts the vertical
orientation of each character to match the path.
Depending on how you want to bind text, you can choose Effects | Bind Text or the Path Text tool. The
Bind Text command lets you bind existing text to an object, and the Path Text tool lets you type new
text directly on the path of a selected object.
Canvas lets you bind multiple text objects to one vector object, but a text object can bind to only one
vector object at a time. Also, you can bind only one text object to a vector object using the Path Text
tool. To bind additional text objects to the same vector object after using the Path Text tool, you must
create a separate text object and choose Effects | Bind Text.
Position and direction of bound text
Whether you use the Bind Text command or Path Text tool, the location where you click the pointer
determines the alignment position.
