To edit artistic text:
• Drag to select a range of text, creating a blue selection.
You can also double-click to select a word, or triple-click to select all
text.
Now you can type new text, apply character and paragraph formatting
(p. 84), edit the text in WritePlus, apply proofing options, and so on.
Putting text on a path
"Ordinary" straight-line artistic
text is far from ordinary—but
you can extend its creative
possibilities even further by
flowing it along a curved path.
The resulting object has all the properties of artistic text, plus its path is a
Bézier curve that you can edit with the Pointer Tool as easily as any
other line! In addition, text on a path is editable in some unique ways, as
described below.
To apply a preset curved path to text:
1. Create an artistic text object.
