Detaching text from a path
To remove text to which you’ve applied the Attach to Path or Flow Inside Path command, you use
the Detach from Path command.
To remove text from a path:
1
Using the Pointer tool, select the path.
2
Select Text > Detach from Path, or click the Detach from Path button in the Text toolbar.
The command creates two objects: the text block and the path. Any transformations are removed,
and the original text block’s size is modified to match the width of the path.
Wrapping text around objects
You can wrap text automatically around a single object, including imported graphics and
composite paths, using the Flow Around Selection command. The command is applied to
objects, not to text blocks. However, you can use this technique with text blocks to create pull
quotes and other text treatments.
You cannot flow text around a group or blend. You can, however, draw a path around such objects
and then wrap the text around the path.
