Operation Manual

Text 203
• Apply different line styles, fills (including gradient and bitmap fills),
and transparency.
• Embed inline images.
• Apply filter effects and rotate/flip.
• Use proofing options such as AutoSpell/Spell Checker, Proof Reader,
and Thesaurus.
• Manage their content and track font usage via the Site Manager.
And some differences:
• 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.
• Artistic text can be applied to a path but frame text cannot.
• Artistic text won't automatically line wrap like frame text.
• Text-fitting functions aren't applicable to artistic text.
To create artistic text:
1. Choose the Artistic Text Tool from the Drawing toolbar.
2. Click anywhere on the page for an insertion point using a default point
size, or drag to specify a particular size as shown here.
3. Set initial text properties (font, style, etc.) as needed before typing,
using the Text context toolbar, Text menu, or right-click (choose Text
Format>).
4. Type directly on the page to create the artistic text.
