Transforming type
The selection tool lets you select an
entire type path or type container so
that you can transform the type along
with the path or container. You can also
transform individual type containers
within linked type containers.
For more examples of transformed type,
see the Adobe Illustrator Tutorial and
Beyond the Basics.
To transform type including its path:

Choose one of two options:
• To transform all of the type, use the
selection tool to select the type path or
type container, or click its baseline.
• To transform individual type
containers in a series of linked type
containers, use the direct-selection tool
to select the linked type containers you
want to transform. Make sure the base-
lines appear, indicating that the type is
selected within the containers.
