Fitting Text to a Path

Designer's fit-to-path features let you align text to any shape, including curves, circles, and angles to create complex effects. You can either enter the text directly onto a path or fit existing freeform text to a path. After fitting text to a path, you can still edit the text and change text attributes.

It is easy to get the text fit that you want because Designer previews on your page the effect of alignment settings as you choose or change them.

Because Designer remembers the path that you used to align the text, you can reshape the path object, or even delete it, without affecting the aligned text.


You can edit text on a path just as you would any other text. For example, you can change the path alignment, color, font, or kerning of the text. You can also delete the shape used to arrange the text if you do not want the object to be visible.
