Ctrl and the mouse button (Mac), or press the right mouse button (Windows). Bound text commands The following commands appear in the context menu: Show Path / Hide Path    Choose Show Path to make the path visi- ble. Choose Hide Path to make the path not visible. Vertical Text    Choose Vertical Text to keep the baseline of the text characters horizontal, rather than perpendicular to the path. This also keeps the vertical axis of each character vertical, rather than angled to follow a curved path. The Vertical Text command is available when the text is bound with the Tangent Text option. Tangent Text    Choose Tangent Text to keep the baseline of the text characters tangent to the path, rather than horizontal. This angles the vertical axis of each character away from vertical as needed to follow the path. By default, Canvas uses the Tangent Text option when it first binds text to a path. The Tangent Text command is available in the context menu when the text is bound with the Vertical Text option. Removing a text bind You can remove a bind effect by selecting a bound text object and choosing Remove Effects in the Effects menu. Canvas straightens the text baseline and separates it from the vector object. Binding text to a circle You can create circular logos with text on top flowing clockwise and text on the bottom flowing counterclockwise. You can create this effect by binding two text objects to a circle and using the Bind Posi- tion handles to arrange the text. To create a circular logo 1 Create a circular object using the Oval tool in the toolbox. 2 Create two text objects and bind them to the circle. You can use the Path Text tool to create and bind the first text object, but you must then bind the second text object using the Bind Text com- mand.
