2. With the text selected, on the Text context toolbar, click the
down arrow on the
Preset Text Paths flyout and choose a
preset path.
The text now flows along the specified path, e.g. for "Path - Top Circle".
To add artistic text along an existing line or shape:
1. Create a freehand, straight, or curved line (see Drawing and
editing lines on p. 131) or a shape (see Drawing and editing
shapes on p. 132).
2. Choose the
Artistic Text Tool from the Tools toolbar.
3. Bring the cursor very close to the line. When the cursor changes
to include a curve, click the mouse where you want the text to
begin. Your line appears as a dashed path with an insertion
point at its starting end.
4. Begin typing at the insertion point. Text flows along the line,
which has been converted to a path.
