Working with Text 85
• Artistic text doesn't flow or link the way frame text does; the Frame
context toolbar's text-fitting functions aren't applicable to artistic text.
To create artistic text:
1. Choose the Artistic Text Tool from the Standard Objects
toolbar's Text flyout.
2. Set initial text properties (font, style, etc.) as needed before typing,
using the Text context toolbar, Text menu, or right-click (choose Text
Format>).
3. Click anywhere on the page for an insertion point using a default point
size, or drag to specify a particular size as shown here.
4. Type directly on the page to create the artistic text.
Once you've created an artistic text object, you can select, move, resize, delete,
and copy it just as you would with a text frame. Solid colors, gradient/bitmap
fills and transparency can all be applied.
To resize or reproportion an artistic text object:
• Drag the object's handles to resize it while maintaining the object's
proportions.
• To resize freely, hold down the Shift key while dragging.
To edit artistic text:
• Drag to select a range of text, creating a blue selection.
