You can perform various operations on type to change its appearance. For example, you can warp type, convert type to shapes, or add a drop

You can enter type that flows along the edge of a work path created by a pen or a shape tool. When you enter type along a path, the type flows in

Entering vertical type on a path results in text orientation parallel to the baseline.
You can also enter type inside a closed path. In this case, however, the type is always oriented horizontally, with line breaks occurring wherever
