Positioning text along the path
There are several options available to position text along a path: use the automatic justification
commands, visually move the text along a path with the Move tool, or use the Baseline Shift
tool which allows you to move text above or below a closed or open path.
Automatically positioning text
There are four justify commands that automatically position text along an open or closed path.
The position of the text is referenced to the starting point of the path (which is the point where
you started to create the path on the work surface). The starting point is indicated by a hollow
square on the path. The text does not need to be selected, and all the text is moved.
To automatically position text
1
Click Left Justify to justify text with the starting point of the path to the left of the text.
2
Click Center Justify to justify text on the entire path. In the example above, since the
path is elliptical, the center of the path is exactly opposite the starting point.
3
Click Right Justify to justify text with the starting point of the path to the right of the
text.
4
Click Center on Start Point to justify text that is centered on the starting point of the
path.
Note: The Center on Start Point is available only when the path is a closed shape. It is
unavailable when the path is an open shape, such as a line or a curve.
Positioning text with the move tool
Use the Custom Justify command along with the Move tool to move text visually along an open
or closed path. Only selected text is moved, and you can select all or part of the text. Use the
Move tool to drag text along an open or closed path to a new position.
