Operation Manual

Text 79
• You can initially "draw" artistic text at a desired point size, and
drag it to adjust the size later. Frame text reflows in its frame
upon frame resize (but doesn't alter its text size).
• Artistic text can be applied to a path but frame text cannot.
• Artistic text won't automatically line wrap like frame text.
• Artistic text doesn't flow or link the way frame text does; the
Frame context toolbar's text-fitting functions aren't applicable
to artistic text.
To create artistic text:
1. Choose the
Artistic Text Tool from the Tools toolbar.
2. Click on the page to make an insertion point from where you'll
begin typing.
3. Set initial text properties (style, font, point size, etc.) using the
Text context toolbar.
4. Start typing to create the artistic text using your chosen text
properties.
To resize or reproportion an artistic text object:
• To resize while maintaining the object's proportions, drag the
resize handles.
To resize freely, hold down the Shift key while dragging.
