    Text on a Path
    by Danbradster

    In this tutorial, we'll learn how to make text follow a path. This could be used in things such as signatures or website templates.


    Open or create a document which you want to add text on a path to. I am using this signature.

    [​IMG]

    Now, select the pen tool and create a path. (if you don't know how to use the pen tool, you might have to read a tutorial here. good-tutorials)

    [​IMG]

    After you've made your path, grap the text tool and position it at the start of your path like this.

    [​IMG]

    Now click and chose your font and size. Type the text that you want on your path and edit it if you need to.

    If you need to add more text, you will need to make your path longer by grabing a point on the path and draging it with this tool. [​IMG]

    Here is what I ended up with.

    Hope you learned something usefull in this tutorial, see ya next time.
