Creating type on a path
Entering type on a path
You can enter type that flows along the edge of a work path created by a pen or a shape tool.
When you enter type along a path, the type flows in the direction that anchor points were added to the path. Entering
h
orizontal type on a path results in letters that are perpendicular to the baseline. Entering vertical type on a path
results in text orientation parallel to the baseline.
As you move a path or change its shape, the type conforms to the new path location or shape.
