Creating Path Type
With the Type on a Path and Vertical Type on a Path tools, you can add type along the
inner or outer edge of a path. You can place the text on either side of the path, but not on
both. If you initially place it on the inner part of the path, you can always move it to the
outer part of the path later.
Create Type on a Path
Select the
Type on a Path
or
Vertical Type on a Path
tool on the Tools panel.
• Click the arrow on the right of the Type tools menu to create a detachable
panel (optional).
• If you want to add type to a open path, you can also use the Type or Vertical
Type tools.
Click on the edge of the path (closed or open) to which you want to add type.
A flashing insertion point appears in the type object. Any fill or stroke on the ob-
ject is removed.
Type some text. The text automatically wraps to the shape of the type object.
Don't press Enter (Win) or Return (Mac).
