Applying curves to text
You can apply a curve style and modify the path (baseline) along which your text will flow. The baseline
created by a curve style is a Bézier curve, meaning that the shape can be controlled by using control handles
and anchor points. For more information, see “Drawing lines and curves” on page 785.
There are four curve styles to choose from:
Curve Style Example
The Curve Flat style flows along a straight line.
The Curve Ribbon style flows the text along a
curve and keeps the letters in an upright position.
When you apply the Curve Ribbon style, you can
use the Shift key and the Rotate tool to control
how the text moves around the baseline.
