Add text on a freeform path
- Choose the Freeform Type tool by doing one of the following:
- Click
in the
Tools sidebar or choose it from the
grouped tools. - Choose Tools > Type > Freeform Type (from the Tools menu at the top of your screen).
- Click
Draw a path or a shape you want your text to wrap around or follow along.
To begin typing, double-click within the text box to highlight the placeholder text or place the insertion point where you want the first character to appear.
Once you've added text, you can –drag one of the text box handles to move the text box along the path or –drag to expand the text box and make room for more text. Also, if there’s too much text to display in the shape, a clipping indicator appears. Drag this handle until all the text is showing.
You can change the look of text just like any other text in your document.
