To work with text threads
You can break threads and have the text flow into either the first or the next object, or you can remove all threads
and have the text stay in place.
1
Select a linked type object.
2
Do any of the following:
•
To break the thread between two objects, double-click the port on either end of the thread. The text flows into the
first object.
•
To release an object from a text thread, choose Type > Threaded Text > Release Selection. The text flows into the
next object.
•
To remove all threads, choose Type > Threaded Text > Remove Threading. The text stays in place.
Wrapping text around objects
You can wrap text around any object, including type objects, imported images, and objects you draw in Illustrator.
If the wrap object is a bitmap image, Illustrator wraps the text around opaque or partially opaque pixels and ignores
fully transparent pixels.
Wrapping is determined by the stacking order of objects, which you can view in the Layers palette. In order for
Illustrator to wrap text around an object, the wrap object must be directly above it. Illustrator does not wrap text that
is above the wrap object in the stacking order or in a separate sublayer or group from the wrap object.
