The red diamond, or glyph, can be used to move the text anchor point. When this text is selected, you can move it by dragging a white square, or you can scale it. Start typing, and the text will automatically fit the curve. Activate the Text tool and move the cursor over the curve so that its cursor icon changes to a curve symbol. You can still make changes to the text itself. Now place your cursor along the curve and click to fit. Then select the text and go to Text > Fit Text to Path. Use the Bezier tool (which you can find in the Freehand tool group flyout on the left toolbar) to trace the mountain ridges. Let’s start with adding artistic text to a path. With both kinds of text, you’re not limited to straight lines and rectangular frames. In this example, the frame was also filled with a background color. To fix this, select the text again and expand the frame until it turns blue. If the text frame turns red, this indicates that the frame is too small to contain all the text. Or you can double-click to edit the text and make changes just to selected characters. You can also change text properties for the entire frame, such as changing the text color to blue. While paragraph text is selected, you can move it or use the handles to adjust the frame size. As with artistic text, you can change the paragraph font settings now, or after the text is added.Ĭlick and drag to set the text frame that will contain the text, then press Ctrl + V to paste your copied text. To add paragraph text, activate the Text tool. You can type out the paragraph text, if you don’t have too much to say, but usually it’s easier to have the text available in another application, where you can use Ctrl + C to copy it first. Paragraph text is generally used for larger amounts of text, which is placed inside a text frame. When text is selected, you can also change the kerning, which is the spacing between characters. After dragging to highlight some of the characters, you can use the settings on the Property Bar or Text docker to change just those characters. When you double-click a text object, you can edit the characters of the text.Īnother way to edit text is to activate the Text tool and click once in the text. For any of these fill options, clicking the Fill Settings icon opens the fill properties. In the Character section you can switch to a vector fill and choose the pattern, or try a texture fill, or a fountain fill. When the Text docker is open (go to Window > Dockers) you can do even more.
To change the color of the text, click on a color swatch in the Color.
