If you try to use the Flip command to flip the text to the opposite side of the arc, it will not work the way expected as the text will flip backwards similar to a mirror image.Īlthough Circle (curve) shape is meant for a continuous string of words, you can create "word arches" where the words arch over each other because they are on separate lines. If you want the text to only flow on the top or bottom half of the circular path then you need to rotate it into that position. If only creating a half circle of text, the text will flow either on the left or right half of the circle not the top or bottom. There is no direct way to control how the text flows along the circular path as it flows equally left or right with the centre point being over either the left or right sizing handle. Moving the Shape Handle past either left or right sizing handle will flip the text, which is particularly useful if only needing to use half of the path. To get a real circular shape rather than an elliptical shape the Fontwork object needs to be stretched vertically.
Also, the more text typed the smaller it will get. The less complete the circular path the smaller the text will be. The size of the text is controlled by how much it completes the circular path. The text flows around the path in an East/West direction. The text can go completely around the path or partially around the path. The Circle (curve) shapes text over a circular path. Circle Pour: Circle (pour) and Open Circle (pour).Circle Curve: Circle (curve) and Open Circle (curve).The Fontwork Circle shapes are divided into two categories with 2 subcategories: Even the tool tip that appears over the shape button is less than helpful. The icons represent what they do but they may not be appear quite as obvious as they could be, particularly if a user has never worked in any other kind of graphic design program before. Of all the Fontwork styles, the Fontwork Circle shapes seems to give users the most trouble. This will set the stage for 2 very special effects commands Set In Circle and Set To Circle. This section will review the Circle Fontwork styles that most users are familiar with and add a few twists to it. Most users of Draw or Impress are already familiar with Fontwork. Fontwork (mostly as comparison to the other tools).The tools/commands discussed here include: Some of the tools will require a bit of trial and error when experimenting with them while others are more straight forward. Some of these "Special Effects" tools are found on the Mode toolbar ( VIEW-> TOOLBARS-> MODE). Both Draw and Impress have some interesting special effects tools that can take text and text shape objects to another level.
