you try to wrap text to a line or a narrow arc, the text will not be visi-
ble. If this occurs, choose Text > Wrap > Remove Wrap or choose
Edit > Undo to make the text visible again.
To wrap existing text inside an object: Select an object and a
text object. Choose Text > Wrap > Inside Shape. Canvas places the
text inside the object.
If there is more text than can fit inside the shape, Canvas inserts a col-
umn break in the text object and displays an overset symbol. You can
resize the object to fit the text, or flow the excess text to another col-
umn; see Flowing overset text into new text columns on
page 26.509.
To type new text inside an object: Select a vector or paint
object and begin typing. Canvas adjusts margins so that text you type
remains within the left and right borders of the object.
If the object is too small to contain all the text you type, the text
object extends below the object. You can resize the object to fit the
text. You can also resize the text object to fit the shape, and then flow
any excess text to another column.
Repelling text from objects
To make text flow around an object, you can apply a repel setting to
the object. You also can set the amount of space between the object
and text it repels.
An object with a repel setting repels all text. You can move the object
and it will repel text wherever you place it.
You can apply repel settings to objects before any text has been cre-
ated or placed in a document. You can also apply a repel setting to a
text object to make it repel the text in other text objects. To make a
text object repel text in other text objects, the repel text object must
be at the front of the stacking order. Select a text object and choose
Object > Arrange > Bring to Front to put the object in front of all
other objects on the same layer.
An object can repel text that is contained in text objects. A repel set-
ting does not repel text that has been bound to a path with the Path
Text tool or the Bind Text command.
Repelling text from paint objects
When you repel text from paint objects, the text wraps to dark areas
of the image. Off-screen, Canvas converts the image to black and
