73. When you press Enter you should see the text following along the first part of the spline you
made. The text should remain selected. Change the font color. Change the font size to 16. Click
away from the text to clear the selection. Observe. See Figure 3-21. Note that where the curve
has extreme bends the text suffers.
74. Click New Map File keeping the Letter Landscape template. Go into Data view. Make a polygon
of several vertices, using the Polygon option. Click Edit Vertices in the Drawing toolbar. Drag
the little cyan squares around with the four arrow-head only cursor to reshape the polygon. In
version 10.1 right click on a vertex and delete it. Right click on a line of the polygon and add
a vertex. Experiment with doing both. Notice the difference between reshaping and resizing,
which we discussed earlier.
75. Create a new curve. Edit Vertices again. By dragging the cyan boxes around, you can change
the locations of vertices. By dragging the purple boxes, you can change the shape of the part
of the curve that goes into a vertex. By dragging a point on the curve that is not a vertex, you
can move the entire curve.
