Changing location of type on path
If neither clicking nor dragging seems to work, make sure that the small plus sign appears next to the Type On A Path tool.
3. Type the text you want. If you clicked to place the insertion point on the path, type will appear along the entire length of the path. If you
dragged, type will appear only along the length you dragged.
If the path was originally visible, it remains visible after you add type to it. To hide the path, select it with the Selection or Direct Selection
tool, and then apply a fill and stroke of None.
Edit or delete type on a path
You can apply character and paragraph options to type on a path. However, paragraph rules and paragraph spacing options have no effect on
type on a path. The alignment setting in the Paragraph panel controls the alignment of type on a path.
Edit and format path-type characters
1. Using the Type On A Path tool, do one of the following:
To add an insertion point, click between any two characters in the type on a path.
To select characters, drag through the type on a path.
2. Edit and format the text as needed.
Delete type from a path
1. Using the Selection tool or Direct Selection tool , select one or more type-on-a-path objects.
2. Choose Type > Type on a Path > Delete Type From Path.
If the path text is threaded, type moves to the next threaded text frame or type-on-a-path object. If the path text isn’t threaded, text is deleted. The
path remains, but loses any type-on-a-path attributes—all brackets, in and out ports, and threading properties are removed.
If the path’s fill and stroke are set to None, the path is invisible after you delete the type. To make the path visible, press the D key
immediately after you choose Type > Type on a Path > Delete Type From Path. This applies the default fill and stroke to the selected path.
Tighten character spacing around sharp turns and acute angles
1. Using the Selection tool or the Type tool, select the type on a path.
