88 Working with Text
To create text and path at the same time:
1. Choose one of the Path Text tools from the Text flyout:
The Freehand Path Text Tool lets you sketch a curved line in a
freeform way.
The Straight Path Text Tool is for drawing a straight line.
The Curved Path Text Tool lets you join a series of line segments
(which may be curved or straight) using "connect the dots" mouse
clicks.
2. Create a line on the page. Your line appears as a path with an insertion
point at its starting end (for a curved path you can either type directly
onto any part of the path or press Esc or double-click to get the
insertion point at the start of the path).
3. Begin typing at the insertion point. Text flows along the path.
To remove the text path:
1. Select the path text object.
2. Click the Path-None button on the Text context toolbar's Path
flyout.
The text remains as a straight-line artistic text object; the path is permanently
removed.
Editing text on the page
You can use the Pointer Tool to edit frame text, table text, or artistic text
directly. On the page, you can select and enter text, set paragraph indents and
tab stops, change text properties, apply text styles, and use Find and Replace
(see p. 92). For editing longer stories, and for more advanced options, choose
WritePlus (Edit Story… from the Edit menu).
